US 2026/0090855 A1 · COORDINATED MOVEMENTS OF ROBOTIC TOOLS

Abstract

Provided is a robotic medical system and related methods for performing coordinated movements of robotic tools inserted within a patient through multiple separate ports and maintaining remote centers of motion during the coordinated movements. In a first control mode, a first robotic tool is moved (e.g., a camera) using a first controller and multiple robotic tools are automatically moved in coordinated movements with the first robotic tool. In a second control mode, a robotic camera is controlled using a first controller and multiple robotic tools are automatically moved in coordinated movements to stay within a field of view of the robotic camera. In a third control mode, multiple robotic tools are moved in automatic coordinated movements using a first controller and a robotic camera is controlled using a second controller.

Dependent claims

A robotic surgical system comprising:

a plurality of robotic arms and a control unit configured to control movement of each of the robotic arms;
a first tool associated with a first robotic arm of the plurality of robotic arms;
and
a second tool associated with a second robotic arm of the plurality of robotic arms;
wherein a movement of the first robotic arm and the first tool by the control unit results in a coordinated movement of the second robotic arm and the second tool;
and
wherein the first robotic arm maintains a first remote center of motion during the movement and the second robotic arm maintains a second remote center of motion during the coordinated movement.
