Purpose: Robotic camera assistance enhances manual dexterity, precision, and ergonomic control in minimally invasive surgery. However, the optimal control interface for robotic camera assistance is still a matter of research and development. Tracking systems seem to offer a potential solution for an autonomous maneuvering of a robotic camera holder.
Methods: We evaluated two potential tracking solutions in a preliminary ex-vivo study (n=20 participants) using either eyetracking or color-code tracking for control of the robotic camera holder SOLOASSIST (AKTORMed, Barbing, Germany). Performance time (maneuvering robotic camera holder to five distinct markers) and system usability scale (SUS) were evaluated. Joystick-cont... view more»
