The at least one unfolded use configuration may be pre-stored in a database.
Claims10
A method for operating a user console for a robotic surgical system, the method comprising:
- characterizing a usage of at least a portion of an adjustable, ergonomic arm support linkage by a user controlling the robotic surgical system from a user console, wherein the portion of the arm support linkage is in a current configuration;
- identifying from a database a model configuration of the portion of the arm support linkage, wherein the model configuration corresponds to at least one of a user characteristic and a surgical task characteristic;
- and
- providing an alert regarding a difference between the current configuration and the model configuration of the portion of the arm support linkage to improve the usage of the arm support linkage by the user.
