I dont know who is this guy , but he earned a sub in min 8:02 with that incredible plot twist..

Excellent use of Chekhov's Big Jar of Salsa

- Complains cool surgical robot costs 2 million dollars. - Uses crapple products.

Bennett the editing goes crazy

Maybe a Playstation joystick would allow you to control at least two tools at a time. And the learning curve would be smoother for the users

Why not use both your hands and feet to control the movement, let your feet control some of the simpler movements and leave the more complex ones to your hans

"you could buy 10 gallons of almond milk for the same price as I can get one of these". Clearly you have a target audience, and I'm not it.

i love the fact this video is so well done with such a professional feel to it, and then seeing the iphone emojis on otherwise serious text slides

I wonder if a 3D SpaceNavigator would work as a first try as an input device. Its at least good for positioning, but the additional finger position sensing, that's quite a challenge.

Hey Bennett! I’m actually used to be a Manufacturing Engineer for the Core Instruments division of Intuitive! You’ve got the older Si instruments there. Very impressed with your work! There’s a lot that goes into making that “talking” between the robot and instrument happen but you covered the basics great! A little background on the “life count” they actually have to qualify every instrument for a specific number of lives by running new versions through simulated use and do some math to calculate what the max life count would be. All has to be submitted through the FDA and approved for every country we send instruments to! Great Video!!

Make IT brain conteolled

Splendid video. I really appreciate step by step breakdown + build sequence. Learned a lot

Make a gauntlet made with 1 micro proximity sensor in each finger. That is for flex, extension and rotation. For movement you should hold your elbow in a platform with X and Y. With this system, you can do all with one hand.

Why not use OpenCV for control?

They use foot pedals to switch between the different arms.

RIP Bennett

This is gonna suck. Cause now that this is publically avaible knowledge. Now they will try to pass regulations and rule making these insturments no avaible for ebay resale or the like.

Cool! Subscribed!

A bit silly for a control solution but have you checked out VR gloves as a solution? You could try to map the movement of specific fingers and such much like the complicated machine the doctor uses in the video. Though, you'd have to account for the limits of each machine, and I wouldn't really call it a precise solution either. But, it would definitely feel intuitive (if done right)

You could use a 6DOF controller from 3dconnexions, and then translate the output of that as serial commands to the device. A space explorer or pilot (both of which are deprecated parts) might be a good fit. Or, you could just use a PS1/2 controller since they're serial to begin with and kinda easy to read, and they're like 8 bucks.

This man is just casually rebuilding one of the most infamous pieces of medical technology in the modern age. Instant sub, need to see more

you could use linear resistors to emulate how it is actually controlled by using linear resistors and joysticks

I think a diy robot would work just fine in our clinic. Maybe the doctor will finally get me a raise.

They did surgery on a grape

My dad's a surgeon and says all the tinkering for human bodies happens in basements like yours. He also said you all keep tinkering and the number of mistakes keep rising. Because you are all psychotic. Enjoy your day!

I might suggest looking into how 3d mice establish their many degrees of freedom. I saw another youtuber make a DIY version using a hall effect sensor and a magnet mounted to floating platform held in the air by 3 springs. Using an microcontroller you can measure the changes to twist, pitch, and height.

Hey dude. I work at Intuitive as an engineer. I would be happy to take you to one of our demo rooms here in Sunnyvale if you're ever around the bay area. Just lmk :)

Anyone else thinking; back scratcher?

I hope you are Safe. Some companies don't like innovations.

The control for the davinci is most likely some type of "master-slave-robotic arm" with (obviously) some form of ratios of control between them. Try looking into that!

This is a fantastic project. But I already have like 3 surgical robot repuropsed grape peelers in my junk drawer, and seldom use any of them.

i kinda like RUclipss new recommendation otherwise i'd have never found your channel. now i just subbed, bc you vids are so cool. also gg for winning the auction for literally 1 penny :)

You can try using hand tracking system for the motion control. Something cheap like Leap Motion Controller 2 ?

Use a valve index controller set...

🥰😍

Do the servos really just snap in the 4 rotating disks like that on the actual machine? The coupling seems so small im surprised these small ‘bumps’ on the disks are able to transfer torque and dont just snap out of place. Im going to check out the CAD later, amazing stuff!!

This guy is gonna be big on the internet.........

Such a nice video..... mind blown by this

maybe some of the most interesting parts of the devinci are the haptics that the surgeon interacts with on his end. The controls reportedly are incredibly intuitive.

DIY surgical robot sounds like a recipe for disasater😀

For the haptic control checkout senmag robotics

We all of the ability to build whatever we want just need the knowledge to do so. Obv R&D can cost money but taking it the way he does it makes it 10000x more cheaper. We should all be self sufficient to the point where we can make our own food, shelter, clean water, and technology. Capitalism preys on the dependent.

Could you control the robot using haptic gloves? It doesn't sound too crazy to wire it up, i think...

I worked at Intuitive for 5 years as an engineer trying to figuring out how to manufacture these surgical tools. I assure you that limiting the number of uses is purely a safety factor. It is critical that they don't fail mechanically and some surgery really pushes them to their mechanical limits.

So you’re going to take apart one of the 8mm manipulators?

what a waste of time

Yeah Austin Yeah.. A Grape... We all would like that, as we would like Rizzoli not be Related to Savoia and Boncompagni... But is not going to happen.. As it will not happen than an Actual AI could ever being considering any of this "A Good Work" If ever existed they would have Going Sentient and Self Delete because too much Pain to Watching this Developing..already In the 90s.. You know what... Revive those, because it might be Easier to do that than to program One Able to Make any Progress Now.

Oh man before all these nifty devices my surgeon father said the failure rate was lower. Now that everyone wants to use robots, everyone gets hurt except surgeons egos. Psycho!
