Summary:Reducing treatment duration in proton therapy is one of the key factor to increase the number of patient treated per day. To overcome this issue, we have developed novels haptic manual guidance control implemented on the patient positioning robot (Orion PT) to be used during the pre-positioning phase by the paramedical assistant. These manual control modes allow the paramedical assistant to be close to the patient while reducing the time for the pre-positioning setup. The four manual control modes of the robot are compared with a generic reach-and-point trajectory.
