A hand controller for enabling a user to perform an activity and method for controlling a robotic arm is provided. The hand controller includes a bar with a grip and a plurality of motors to provide a force feedback to the user in response to the movement of the plurality of mechanical arms. The method involves receiving input corresponding to the manipulation of a bar and providing a force feedback in response to the movement of the plurality of mechanical arms.

Robotic hand controller

A force feedback system and method are provided. The force feedback system includes a communication module, a processor and a motor drive module. The processor is for receiving and processing mechanical arm signals corresponding to a movement of the plurality of mechanical arms and the motor drive module is for activating the plurality of actuators. The method involves providing an interface between a controller and a plurality of mechanical arms, receiving and processing mechanical arm signals corresponding to movement of the mechanical arms activating a plurality of actuators and generating a force feedback.

Force feedback system

A robotic hand controller, having 8 Degrees of Freedom, with force feedback mechanisms in one or more and preferably all available degrees of freedom is provided. The hand controller is used with a plurality of end effectors such as forceps and scissors. The plurality of robotic arms and the plurality of end effectors are controlled by a surgeon working on a robotic console. The robotic console includes the robotic hand controller which allows the surgeon to perform motion in 8 Degrees of Freedom using the end effectors.
