Swivel bed for a surgical robotics system

A surgical bed comprising:

• a base for supporting the surgical bed on a floor;
• a column coupled to the base and coupled to the surgical bed, the column having a center vertical axis oriented approximately perpendicular to the floor;
• a plurality of robotic arms, each robotic arm coupled to the column, each robotic arm comprising a plurality of arm segments, each arm segment configured to move independently from each other arm, and wherein one or more of the robotic arms are configured to manipulate a surgical instrument to perform a surgical procedure on a patient;
• a bed base comprising a first set of at least one curved rail, the bed base extending along a plane to support the patient;
• and
• a swivel segment movably coupled to the bed base and configured to rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane of the bed base and concentric to a curved rail of the first set, the swivel segment comprising a second set of at least one curved rail configured to telescope along a curved rail of the first set.

A surgical bed comprising:

• a bearing mechanism including a first bearing subassembly and a second bearing subassembly, the first bearing subassembly movably coupled to the second bearing subassembly;
• a bed base coupled to the first bearing subassembly, the bed base extending along a plane to support a patient;
• and
• a swivel segment movably coupled to the bed base and configured to rotate about an axis orthogonal to the plane of the bed base, the swivel segment coupled to the second bearing subassembly, wherein the bearing mechanism is configured to rotate the swivel segment relative to the bed base and about the axis;
• a base for supporting the surgical bed on a floor;
• a column coupled to the base and coupled to the surgical bed, the column having a center vertical axis oriented approximately perpendicular to the floor;
• a plurality of robotic arms, each robotic arm coupled to the column, each robotic arm comprising a plurality of arm segments, each arm segment configured to move independently from each other arm, and wherein one or more of the robotic arms are configured to manipulate a surgical instrument to perform a surgical procedure on a patient;
• and
• one or more column rings coupled to the column, each column ring coupled to one of the robotic arms, each column ring configured to vertically translate independently from each other ring along the central vertical axis and configured to rotate independently from each other ring about the central vertical axis.
