Abstract
A robotic surgical system can include one or more adjustable arm supports that support one or more robotic arms. The adjustable arm supports can be configured to attach to either a table, a column support of the table, or a base of the table to deploy the adjustable arm supports and robotic arms from a position below the table. In some examples, the adjustable arm supports include at least four degrees of freedom that allow for adjustment of the position of a bar or rail to which the robotic arms are mounted. One of the degrees of freedom can allow the adjustable arm support to be adjusted vertically relative to the table.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a table configured to support a patient;
- a column extending along a first axis between a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the table;
- a base coupled to the second end of the column;
- a first arm support coupled to at least one of the table, the column or the base by at least a first joint configured to allow adjustment along the first axis relative to the table, the first arm support comprising a first bar having a proximal portion and a distal portion extending along a second axis different from the first axis;
- and
- a first robotic arm movably mounted to the first bar, wherein the first robotic arm is configured to translate along the first bar.
A system, comprising:
- a table configured to support a patient;
- a column extending along a first axis between a first end and a second end, the first end coupled to the table;
- a base coupled to the second end of the column;
- a first arm support comprising a first bar having a proximal portion and a distal portion extending along a second axis, the first bar coupled to at least one of the table, column or base by at least a first joint configured to allow adjustment of the first bar along the first axis, the first arm support configured to support at least one robotic arm that is movably coupled to the first bar, wherein the at least one robotic arm is configured to translate along the first bar;
- and
- a second arm support comprising a second bar having a proximal portion and a distal portion extending along a third axis coupled to the column by at least a second joint configured to allow adjustment of the second bar along the first axis, the second arm support configured to support at least another robotic arm;
- wherein the first arm support and the second arm support are configured such that the position of the first bar and the second bar along the first axis can be adjusted independently.
