Abstract: A surgical positioning system includes an emitter secured to a medical implant; at least three microphones; at least one processor; and a memory. The emitter has a speaker and a power source. The memory stores instructions for execution by the processor that, when executed, cause the processor to receive, from each of the at least three microphones, information about a detected sound; and calculate, based on position information corresponding to each of the at least three microphones and the received information, a position of the implant.

Abstract: Systems and methods for verifying a pose of a target may include causing a robotic arm to contact a target with a verification tool to yield first pose information of the target and receiving second pose information of the target. The pose of the target may be verified based on the first pose information and the second pose information.

Abstract: A system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a processor; and a memory storing data thereon that, when processed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine, based on a navigation element of a first type and a navigation element of a second type both disposed on a navigation tracker, a first registration between the navigation tracker and an anatomical element; determine, based on a navigation element of a third type disposed on the navigation tracker, a second registration between a robotic arm and the navigation tracker; and navigate, based on the first registration and the second registration, the robotic arm relative to the anatomical element.

Abstract: A surgical system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes an interface block disposed at a distal end of a robot arm and an end-effector block that attaches to the interface block via a nut. For example, the interface block may include a threaded rod that extends a distance from a mount surface of the interface block. Accordingly, the end-effector block may include a mount hole that passes through the end-effector block, where the nut threadedly engages with the threaded rod through the mount hole to clamp the end-effector block against the interface block. In some examples, a sterile drape may be used to provide a sterile barrier between the surgical system and a patient. Additionally, a liner plate may be used with the surgical system, such that an area of the sterile drape is disposed between the liner plate and the mount surface.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for robot integrated segmental tracking are described. A system determines first positional information of one or more objects based on three-dimensional first image data captured by an imaging device, tracking information associated with the one or more objects, or both. The first positional information includes a real-time location of the one or more objects. The system generates an image including a graphical representation of the one or more objects. Generating the image includes positioning the graphical representation of the one or more objects based on a comparison result indicative of a deviation between the first positional information and reference positional information of the one or more objects. The reference positional information includes a registered location of the one or more objects. The system outputs an indication of the deviation between the first positional information and the reference positional information.

Abstract: Systems and methods for registering one or more anatomical elements are provided. The system may comprise an imaging device and a navigation system configured to track a pose of a marker coupled to an object and configured to identify the marker. A first image may be received from a surgical plan. Pose information describing the pose of the marker and a marker identification of the marker may be obtained from the navigation system. An object identification based on the marker identification may be retrieved from a database. Image data of a second image depicting an anatomical element and the object may be obtained from the imaging device. The image data, the pose information, and the object identification may be input into a registration model. The registration model may be configured to register the anatomical element to the first image based on the pose information and the object identification.

Abstract: A system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a processor; and at least one inertial sensor having a known physical relationship with a tracked object in a first pose, the at least one inertial sensor providing a measurement indicative of a movement of the tracked object from the first pose to a second pose, wherein the processor determines the second pose of the tracked object based, at least in part, on the measurement provided by the at least one inertial sensor.

Abstract: A surgical bone-protecting drill guide device includes a body formed of biocompatible material forming a shell. The body includes an outer surface, an interior surface being a reverse-engineering surface approximation of a protruding boney structure of one or more bones in an image of a patient and body material between the outer surface and the interior surface. The device includes implant guides. Each implant guide is configured to extend from the outer surface and through the body material and the interior surface and provide a window to a pre-planned implant location for implanting a respective one implant relative to the protruding boney structure of the patient. The window has a size and shape that is pre-calculated as a function of a size of a pre-determined tool to be inserted through the window.

Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring patient movement are provided. A first dataset containing information about a first tracking device and a second tracking device may be received. A second dataset containing information about the first tracking device and the second tracking device may be received. The first dataset and the second dataset may be compared to determine if a relative pose of the first tracking device and the second tracking device has changed. A notification may be generated when the relative pose of the first tracking device and the second tracking device has changed.
