Abstract
A base for supporting a surgical robot includes a first planar member on which the surgical robot is mounted. A second planar member is pivotably coupled to the first planar member about a first axis. The first planar member and the second planar member are independently rotatable about the first axis so as to stabilise the base on an uneven floor surface.

A base for supporting a surgical robot, the base comprising:
- a first planar member on which the surgical robot is mounted;
- and
- a second planar member pivotably coupled to the first planar member about a first wherein the first planar member and the second planar member are independently rotatable about the first axis so as to stabilise the base on an uneven floor surface.
A method for stabilising a surgical robot on an uneven floor surface, the method comprising:
- stopping the motion of the surgical robot relative to the floor surface;
- lowering a linear lifting column towards the floor surface, the linear lifting column being coupled to a base, the base comprising a first planar member on which the surgical robot is mounted and a second planar member pivotably coupled to the first planar member about a first axis, so that the base of the surgical robot contacts the floor surface;
- and
- when the base contacts the floor surface, performing a relative rotation of the first and second planar members about the first axis so as to stabilise the base on the uneven floor surface.
