Abstract
A surgical robotic system includes: a plurality of movable carts oriented relative to the surgical table, each of which includes a robotic arm, and an orientation device for calculating an orientation angle of each robotic arm relative to the surgical table.
Claims20
A surgical robotic system comprising:
- a movable cart positioned relative to a surgical table and including a setup arm and a robotic arm;
- an orientation device including a memory and a computer configured to:
- store a zero position of the surgical table upon being placed at the zero position;
- link with the robotic arm;
- store a position of the setup arm upon being placed at the position of the setup arm;
- and
- calculate an orientation angle between the setup arm and the surgical table based on the stored zero position of the surgical table and the stored position of the setup arm;
- and
- a surgical console including an input device communicatively coupled to the robotic arm and configured to control movement of the robotic arm, wherein the surgical console is configured to correlate the calculated orientation angle of the setup arm with movements of the input device for controlling movement of the robotic arm.

A surgical robotic system comprising:
- a surgical table;
- a first movable cart positioned relative to the surgical table and including a first setup arm;
- a second movable cart positioned relative to the surgical table and including a second setup arm;
- an orientation device including a memory and a computer configured to:
- store a zero position of the surgical table upon being placed at the zero position;
- link with the first setup arm;
- store a position of the first setup arm upon being placed at the position of the first setup arm;
- calculate an orientation angle between the first setup arm and the surgical table based on the stored zero position of the surgical table and the stored position of the first setup arm;
- link with the second setup arm;
- store a position of the second setup arm upon being placed at the position of the second setup arm;
- and
- calculate an orientation angle between the second setup arm and the surgical table based on the stored zero position of the surgical table and the stored position of the second setup arm.
9 more elements
A method of registering a setup arm with a surgical table, the method comprising:
- receiving zero position data from an orientation device;
- linking the orientation device to a first setup arm of a first movable cart positioned relative to a surgical table;
- calculating, by a computer, an orientation angle of the first setup arm relative to the surgical table based on at least the zero position data;
- linking the orientation device to a second setup arm of a second movable cart positioned relative to the surgical table;
- and
- calculating, by the computer, an orientation angle of the second setup arm relative to the surgical table based on at least the zero position data.
