Abstract
Robotic medical systems may perform concomitant procedures. A robotic system can include a first robotic arm configured to manipulate a flexible instrument and a second robotic arm configured to manipulate a rigid instrument. The robotic system can include a first arm support for supporting the first robotic arm and a second arm support, distinct from the first arm support, for supporting the second robotic arm. The robotic system can include a display for displaying feedback from the flexible instrument and the rigid instrument.
Claims20
A robotic system, comprising:
- a first robotic arm configured to manipulate a flexible instrument;
- a second robotic arm configured to manipulate a rigid instrument;
- a first arm support for supporting the first robotic arm;
- a second arm support, distinct from the first arm support, for supporting the second robotic arm;
- a display configured to display feedback from the flexible instrument and feedback from the rigid instrument;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a zone of sterility and a zone of non-sterility;
- maintain the first robotic arm within the zone of non-sterility;
- and
- maintain the second robotic arm within the zone of sterility.
