The da Vinci Research Kit

The da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) is a collection of first-generation da Vinci components that can be used to assemble a research platform for exploring telerobotics in medicine. The idea behind this initiative is to provide the core hardware to a network of researchers worldwide, by repurposing retired clinical systems. This hardware is provided in combination with dedicated electronics to create a system that enables researchers to access to any level of the control system of the robot as well as the data streams within it.

Background

The da Vinci Research Kit research platform was developed through a collaboration between academic institutions, Johns Hopkins University and Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Intuitive Surgical Inc. in 2012. The introduction of the dVRK allowed research centers to share a common hardware platform without restricted access to the underlying back-and forward control system. This has led to a significant boost to the development of research in surgical robotics during the last decade and generated new opportunities for collaboration and to connect a surgical robot to other technologies. Today, the dVRK consortium includes mostly universities and academic centers within hospitals, and some companies.

Components

The Kit contains the following components:

  • Two da Vinci Master Tool Manipulators (MTMs)
  • Two da Vinci Patient Side Manipulators (PSMs)
  • A stereo viewer
  • A foot pedal tray
  • Manipulator Interface Boards (dMIBs)
  • Basic accessory kit
