Abstract
A robotic surgical system includes a stationary instrument driver comprising a first instrument driver body attached to a distal joint of a first robotic arm and operable to drive one or more functions of a first surgical tool, and a mobile instrument driver comprising an instrument driver carriage translatable along a longitudinal base and operable to drive one or more functions of a second surgical tool, where the longitudinal base is removably attached to a distal joint of a second robotic arm.
Claims20
A robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a stationary instrument driver comprising a first instrument driver body attached to a distal joint of a first robotic arm and operable to drive one or more functions of a first surgical tool;
- and
- a mobile instrument driver comprising an instrument driver carriage translatable along a longitudinal base and operable to drive one or more functions of a second surgical tool, wherein the longitudinal base is attached to a distal joint of a second robotic arm.
A robotic surgical system comprising:
- a first type robotic arm having a stationary instrument driver coupled to a distal end of each first type robotic arm;
- a second type robotic arm having a mobile instrument driver including an instrument driver carriage capable of translation on an elongated base coupled the second distal end of the second type robotic arm;
- and
- a modular base located on a proximal end of each of the first and second type robotic arms and operable to removably attach the first and second type robotic arms to the robotic surgical system.
A robotic surgical system comprising:
- at least two robotic arms, each having a proximal end and a distal end;
- one or more stationary instrument drivers configured to drive functions of a coupled first surgical tool;
- and
- one or more mobile instrument drivers including an instrument driver carriage capable of translation on a longitudinal base,
- wherein the one or more stationary instrument drivers and the one or more mobile instrument drivers are each removably attached to the robotic system at one of a modular joint located on the distal end of a robotic arm and a modular base located on the proximal end of a robotic arm.
A method, comprising:
- attaching a stationary instrument driver to a distal joint of a first robotic arm of a first type;
- attaching a mobile instrument driver to a distal joint of a second robotic arm of a second type, the mobile instrument driver including an instrument driver carriage translatable along an elongated base;
- driving one or more functions of a first surgical tool with the stationary instrument driver;
- and
- driving one or more functions of a second surgical tool with the mobile instrument driver.
