Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes: a surgical table; a plurality of movable carts being oriented toward the surgical table, each of which includes a robotic arm, and an alignment unit configured to determine an orientation of the movable cart and the robotic arm relative to the surgical table; and a computer coupled to each of the plurality of movable carts and configured to calculate a yaw angle for each of the plurality of movable carts.

Abstract: A foot pedal for a user interface of a robotic surgical system includes a frame, a lever, and a sensor system. The lever is coupled to the frame and is pivotable relative to the frame between an initial position and a fully actuated position. The sensor system has a first element associated with the frame and a second element that is associated with the lever. The sensor system is configured to determine the position of the lever relative to the frame.

Abstract: Robotic surgical systems are operated in a manner that improves user experience and user control. The robotic surgical system systems are configured to have a carrying mode, a camera reposition mode, and/or a targeting mode, one or more of which is selectable by the user.

Abstract: A user interface for a robotic system includes a processing unit, an input handle, and a foot pedal. The input handle includes an actuation control that has an actuated position. In the actuated position of the input handle, the input handle transmits a handle signal to the processing unit. The foot pedal includes an actuation switch and has an actuated position. In the actuated position of the foot pedal, the foot pedal transmits a foot signal to the processing unit. The processing nit is configured to associate the input handle with the foot pedal in response to the actuation control being actuated and released. The processing unit is also configured to generate a control signal configured to actuate a tool associated with the input handle when the processing unit simultaneously receives a handle signal from the associated input handle and a foot signal form the foot pedal.

Abstract: A graphical user interface on a display of a user interface of a robotic surgical system includes a work area and a ribbon. The work area is configured to display a representation of a first end effector at a surgical site. The ribbon has a first icon that is configured to display end effector data of the first end effector.

Abstract: A method for controlling a robotic tool of a robotic surgical system includes pivoting a first control arm of a controller of a user interface of the robotic surgical system with respect to a shaft of the controller and moving a first jaw of the robotic tool of the robotic surgical system a first distance in a first direction relative to a tool axis defined by the robotic tool and moving a second jaw of the robotic tool in response to the pivoting of the first control arm. The second jaw moves the first distance in a second direction opposite the first direction.
