Abstract
A foot pedal system for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal system comprising a foot pedal assembly movably coupled to a foot pedal assembly platform. The foot pedal assembly having a foot pedal base, a foot pedal pivotally coupled to the foot pedal base, and a foot pedal platform, the foot pedal base operable to slide across the foot pedal platform along an x-axis and a y-axis to an arrangement of activation positions. The foot pedal platform operable to translate and rotate with respect to the foot pedal assembly platform to any position along the foot pedal assembly platform, and the foot pedal platform is operable to engage or disengage with the foot pedal assembly platform at the any position along the foot pedal assembly platform.

A foot pedal assembly for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal assembly comprising:
- a foot pedal base;
- a foot pedal pivotally coupled to the foot pedal base;
- and
- a foot pedal platform having a planar contact surface upon which the foot pedal base is positioned, the foot pedal base having a planar surface configured to contact and move across the planar contact surface of the foot pedal platform along a first axis and a second axis between an arrangement of activation positions along the planar contact surface, the first axis and the second axis being non-parallel to one another and parallel to the planar contact surface of the foot pedal platform.
A foot pedal system for controlling a surgical robotic system, the foot pedal system comprising:
- a foot pedal assembly operable to control a function of the surgical robotic system;
- a foot pedal assembly platform upon which the foot pedal assembly is positioned, the foot pedal assembly operable to translate and rotate with respect to the foot pedal assembly platform to any position along the foot pedal assembly platform and control the function of the surgical robotic system at the any position;
- and
- a locking assembly operable to selectively engage or disengage the foot pedal assembly platform with the foot pedal assembly at the any position along the foot pedal assembly platform.
