Abstract

A medical devices en-vivo positional determination system using a plurality of optical time of flight (TDF) transceivers along with gyroscopic angular and mechanical distance sensors for the determination of absolute linear and angular positional information of the tool bit tip for the purposes of more accurate hand-held drilling or cutting, on the workpiece using forward kinematic equations calculated on a microcomputer to provide a real-time display of the 3-linear position and 2-angular orientation of the tool bit (such as a drill, scalpel, or wire driver).
