Abstract
We have designed a novel human–machine interface (called FAce MOUSe) for controlling a laparoscope based on the surgeon's face image processing, and developed a robotic laparoscope positioning system with the FAce MOUSe interface. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system and its applicability to clinical use, an experiment was at first conducted under laboratory conditions, then an in vivo experiment was carried out in which a surgeon used the system to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy on a pig. A brief outline of the FAce MOUSe system and the experimental results are presented.
