Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A shape-sensing segment traverses through at least a portion of a kinematic chain of a tele-operated slave surgical instrument in a tele-operated minimally-invasive surgical system. The shape-sensing segment includes a pre-set perturbation. Shape information from the pre-set perturbation allows determination of relative partial-pose information for at least one link in the kinematic chain.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An apparatus comprising: a kinematic chain comprising a proximal link and a distal link; and a shape-sensing segment extending through at least one of said proximal link and said distal link, the shape-sensing segment including at least one pre-set perturbation, the at least one pre-set perturbation being located and contained within one of said proximal link and said distal link, and the at least one pre-set perturbation including a bend in the shape-sensing segmen…
