Abstract: The embodiments disclosed herein relate to various medical device components, including components that can be incorporated into robotic and/or in vivo medical devices. Certain embodiments include various modular medical devices for in vivo medical procedures.

Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to surgical robot positioning systems and devices that aid in the gross positioning of surgical devices during surgical procedures. For example, a gross positioning system for use with a robotic surgical device may include a positioning body, a yaw mechanism operably coupled to the positioning body at a yaw rotational joint, a pitch mechanism operably coupled to the positioning body at a pitch rotational joint, and a plunge mechanism operably coupled to the pitch mechanism, where the plunge mechanism is configured to slide and to be coupleable to the robotic surgical device.

Abstract: A user controller having a thumb sheath with an open side defined in the thumb sheath. Further embodiments relate to thumb presence sensors and sensory feedback components associated with the thumb sheath. Additional embodiments relate to an adjustable thumb sheath. Still other embodiments relate to systems comprising such user controllers.

Abstract: The various inventions relate to robotic surgical devices, consoles for operating such surgical devices, operating theaters in which the various devices can be used, insertion systems for inserting and using the surgical devices, and related methods. A positionable camera is disposed therein, and the system is configured to execute a tracking and positioning algorithm to re-position and re-orient the camera tip.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are various robotic surgical systems having various robotic devices. Further, disclosed herein are removable coupleable connection ports, each of which can be coupled to a robotic device and a camera assembly that is disposed into and through the robotic device. Also disclosed herein are removable connection ports having at least one of a elongate device body coupling mechanism, a camera assembly coupling mechanism, and/or a presence detection mechanism.
