Vision, Console and Navigation Tracking

SRB 110 delves into the critical components that enable precise surgical robotic interventions. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of medical imaging integration, including camera systems, display technologies, and image processing. The course covers the architecture and functionality of the surgical robotic console, emphasizing human-machine interface principles, control inputs, and data management. Furthermore, it explores various navigation tracking methodologies, such as optical, electromagnetic, and hybrid systems, including their calibration, accuracy assessment, and common failure modes. Practical labs reinforce theoretical concepts, preparing students to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently while adhering to strict safety and regulatory standards.
