Abstract
A robotic surgical system is provided. An illustrative robotic surgical system includes a base having a known position relative to an operating table; an end effector configured to hold and align a surgical tool for performing a procedure on a subject on said operating table; at least one robotic arm connecting said base with said end effector; and a target attached to the end effector, wherein an image of the target attached to the end effector is used to determine a pose of the end effector.
Claims20
A robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a base;
- an end effector configured to hold and align a surgical tool for performing a procedure on a subject on an operating table;
- at least one robotic arm connecting said base with said end effector;
- and
- a target attached to the end effector, wherein an image of the target is used to determine a pose of the end effector relative to the subject's anatomy.
A method of performing a surgical procedure on a subject, the method comprising:
- fixing a base of a robotic surgical system into a known position;
- connecting an end effector to the base via at least one robotic arm, wherein the end effector is configured to hold and align a surgical tool for performing the surgical procedure on the subject;
- attaching a target to the end effector;
- obtaining an image of the target when the target is attached to the end effector;
- and
- determining a pose of the end effector relative to the subject's anatomy based on the image of the target.
