Abstract

La présente invention concerne des procédés, des dispositifs (tels que des supports lisibles sur ordinateur) et des systèmes (tels que des systèmes informatiques) de réalisation des mouvements d'un outil d'un robot médical le long d'un axe unique, qui consistent à limiter électroniquement le mouvement du robot médical pour que l'outil se déplace le long de l'axe unique, plutôt qu'à limiter mécaniquement le mouvement du robot médical pour obtenir le déplacement sur l'axe unique. Le mouvement de l'outil s'effectue le long de l'axe unique, même si un utilisateur déplace un dispositif d'entrée relié au robot médical sur d'autres axes pendant le déplacement de l'axe unique. De plus, la présente invention concerne des techniques d'automatisation du déplacement de l'axe unique de telle sorte qu'il puisse être programmé pour s'arrêter à un emplacement cible et pour commencer à un second emplacement (par ex. de départ)ou à proximité de celui-ci, ce qui est utile pour une procédure telle qu'une biopsie cérébrale, une biopsie ou une implantation mammaire, et de telle sorte qu'un utilisateur puisse exécuter une commande demandant au robot médical d'exécuter le mouvement sans que l'utilisateur ait à manipuler un dispositif d'entrée pour obtenir le mouvement de réponse en temps réel du robot médical.
