SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A REMOTE MEDICAL DEVICE GUIDANCE SYSTEM IN THREE-DIMENSIONS USING GESTURES
First Claim
1. A system for enabling a user to remotely control a robotic medical device system, comprising:
- a motion capture apparatus configured to capture motion of a user in a sensing volume and generate output data indicative of the captured user motion;
an electronic control unit including a processor and a memory;
gesture recognition logic stored in said memory and configured to execute on said processor, said gesture recognition logic being configured to recognize a user gesture based on said output data from said motion capture apparatus; and
interpreter logic stored in said memory and configured to execute said processor, said interpreter logic being configured to translate the user gesture to a corresponding robotic medical device control command wherein said command is configured to control an aspect of the operation of the robotic medical device system, said electronic control unit being configured to communicate said command to the robotic medical device system.

Abstract
A system for enabling a user to remotely control a robotic medical device system includes a motion capture apparatus to capture motion of a user in a sensing volume and generate indicative output data. The system includes a control unit configured to execute gesture recognition logic that recognizes a user gesture based on analysis of the indicative output data. The control unit executes interpreter logic that is configured to translate the recognized user gesture into a corresponding robotic medical device control command configured to control an aspect of the operation of the robotic medical device system.
