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 rebotic laparoscope positioning system with the FAce MOUSe interface. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system and its applicability to clinical use, an invivo experiment was conducted 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 result of the animal experiment are presented. (author abst.)
