Abstract
A system includes an ultrasound device including an ultrasound probe, a robot including an arm configured to couple to the ultrasound probe, and a reverse collaborative robot configured to be manipulated by a user. The reverse collaborative robot includes actuators to provide haptic feedback to the user. The system includes a control system configured to receive input from a user to begin an ultrasound scan of a subject utilizing the robot to move the ultrasound probe along an acquisition surface of the subject, wherein the user is located at the location remote from the ultrasound device and the robot. The system includes a feedback device disposed on or handled by a subject being imaged by the ultrasound device, wherein the feedback device is configured to receive input to adjust a pressure applied to an acquisition surface of the subject being imaged by the ultrasound probe.
