Publication number: 20220193913Abstract: A medical system includes a robotic arm, a surgical cart, a setup arm, and an alignment unit. The setup arm is mounted to the surgical cart and is configured to operatively couple to the robotic arm. The alignment unit is operatively coupled to the setup arm and configured to determine the orientation of the robotic arm relative to a representative coordinate system. A method of aligning a robotic arm with a representative coordinate system includes projecting an alignment pattern from an alignment unit onto a horizontal surface such as the floor, patient, or representative coordinate system, wherein the alignment unit is operatively coupled to a setup arm mounted to a surgical cart. A user is then prompted to manipulate the alignment pattern by adjusting the alignment unit. An input indicating that adjustments to the alignment unit are complete is then received.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2019Publication date: June 23, 2022Inventors: Sean Casley, Renen Bassik, Gregory Lanier, Jason Iceman

Patent number: 10682187Abstract: A mobile surgical robotic cart assembly used for minimally invasive surgery includes a vertical column supporting a robotic arm thereon and a base portion having at least three casters adapted to allow the surgical robotic assembly to move. The surgical robotic cart assembly further includes an immobilization assembly coupled to the base portion, the immobilization assembly being configured to move between an unlocked position and a locked position. The surgical robotic cart assembly is mobile when the immobilization assembly is in the unlocked position and immobile when the when the immobilization assembly is in the locked position.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Jason Iceman, James Lattimore

Patent number: 10500015Abstract: A surgical robotic arm support system may include a base and at least one post and/or a connection for coupling a robot arm to the support system. The base may be configured to at least partially surround a surgical table. The at least one post may have a first end supported on the base and a second end configured to support a robotic arm. The at least one post may be configured to be coupled to a surgical table. The connection may support a mechanical and/or electrical connectivity between the support system and a coupled robot arm. Electrical connectivity may be configured to identify at least one of the robot arm connections to which at least one robot arm is connected. Each robot arm connection may be configured to maintain a portion of a connected robot arm at a predetermined position from the base.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2015Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Eric Taylor, Josh Snow, Peter Hathaway, Michael Stow, Russell Pribanic, Andrew Miesse, Christopher Switalski, Michael Zemlok, Jason Iceman
