Abstract
Systems and methods for mounting a robotic arm for use in robotic-assisted surgery, including a mobile shuttle that includes a support member for mounting the robotic arm that extends at least partially over a gantry of an imaging device. Further embodiments include a mounting apparatus for mounting a robotic arm to a base or support column of an imaging device, to a patient table, to a floor or ceiling of a room, or to a cart that extends over the top surface of the patient table.
Claims10
A surgical system comprising:
- a patient support including a surgical table coupled to a column for supporting a patient;
- a mount operatively attached to the patient support, the mount including:
- a support element operatively attached to the column beneath the surgical table and extending away from the column and above the surgical table, and
- a support arm fixed to and extending away from the support element;
- an imaging device including an O-shaped gantry supported for movement relative to the patient support to obtain imaging data of the patient;
- a surgical tool supporting a marker device;
- a motion tracking apparatus configured to track the marker device of the surgical tool and at least one of the patient and the imaging device;
- and
- a robotic arm having a base end operatively attached to the support arm of the mount, an end effector for supporting the surgical tool relative to the patient, and a plurality of actuators configured to articulate the end effector relative to the base end to adjust a position of the surgical tool relative to the patient.
