Abstract

A robotic system (10) which controls the movement of a surgical instrument (16) in response to voice commands from the user. The robotic system (10) has a computer controlled arm (14) that holds the surgical instrument (16). The user provides voice commands to the computer (20) through a microphone (40).
The computer (20) contains a phrase recognizer that matches the user's speech with words stored in the computer (20). Matched words are then processed to determine whether the user has spoken a robot command. If the user has spoken a recognized robot command the computer (20) will move the robotic arm (14) in accordance with the command.
