Foot pedal apparatus for use with a workstation controlling a robotic surgery system

A foot pedal apparatus for use with a robotic surgery system workstation, the apparatus comprising:

• a first mount configured to be mounted to the workstation;
• a second mount configured to be mounted to the workstation;
• a pivotable platform extended between the first and second mounts, the pivotable platform being mounted on a rod extending between the first and second mounts;
• a first pedal mounted on the pivotable platform and including a first upwardly disposed actuation surface, the first actuation surface positioned at a first angle relative to a floor surface;
• and
• a second pedal mounted vertically elevated with respect to the first pedal and including a second upwardly disposed actuation surface, the second actuation surface positioned at a second angle relative to the floor surface, the second pedal including at least a proximal portion overlapping a distal portion of the first pedal,
• wherein the pivotable platform is configured to pivot and alter at least one of the first angle of the first actuation surface or the second angle of the second actuation surface relative to the floor surface to facilitate ergonomic operation of the first and second pedals,
• wherein the pivotable platform is configured to pivot on the rod between a first position in which the pivotable platform is lowered toward the floor surface to permit a user to engage first and second pedals and a second position in which the pivotable platform is at least partially raised away from the floor surface to permit transporting the workstation, and
• wherein a fastener comprises a spring pin configured to engage with an opening to maintain the pivotable platform in the second position and to disengage from the opening to cause the pivotable platform to pivot to the first position.
