Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for a robot-assisted surgery. A surgical robotic system with integrated navigation and multiple surgical arms may assist a user with one or more surgical procedures. In addition to the multiple surgical arms, the robotic system may also have peripheral arms to position a navigation camera and surgeon displays. The robotic system is collaborative to allow for easy integration into procedural workflows, for example, to install pedicle screws, interbody implants, or other surgical devices.
Claims16
A surgical robotic system, comprising:
- a moveable base station, including an on-board computer;
- a navigation camera mounted to the base station with a camera arm;
- a display mounted to the base station with a display arm:
- and
- a first surgical arm and a second surgical arm, each of the first surgical arm and the second surgical arm is mounted to the base station, wherein each of the first surgical arm and the second surgical arm has an end effector,
- wherein the end-effector of the first surgical arm is configured to attach to a first identified location,
- wherein the end effector of a second surgical arm is configured to attach to a second identified location while the first surgical arm remains rigidly attached to the first identified location, and once attached, the first surgical arm is configured to be removed while the second surgical arm remains rigidly attached to the second identified location,
- wherein at least one of the first surgical arm and the second surgical arm are configured to be a navigation source for enhanced navigation of the surgical robotic system.

A surgical robotic system, comprising:
- a moveable base station, including an on-board computer;
- a navigation camera mounted to the base station with a camera arm;
- a display mounted to the base station with a display arm;
- and
- a first surgical arm and a second surgical arm each mounted to the base station,
- wherein the computer is configured to execute instructions for:
- guiding the first surgical arm of the surgical robotic system to a location on bone of a patient and attaching the first surgical arm to the location on the bone,
- navigating the second surgical arm of the surgical robotic system based on the first attached surgical arm, and
- wherein one surgical arm remains rigidly attached to the bone to act as a fixation anchor point for the bone and for providing spatial information about the location of the bone to the surgical robotic system.
