Abstract: A system for intraocular robotic surgery includes: (1) a set of mounts to receive a tool collar to which a surgical tool is secured; (2) a rotational actuator connected to the set of mounts to drive rotation of the set of mounts; and (3) a translational actuator connected to the set of mounts to drive linear translation of the set of mounts.

Abstract: According to certain general aspects, the present embodiments relate generally to identifying tissue, fluid and/or anatomical structures at the tip of a surgical tool. The determination of the tissue, fluid and/or anatomical structures that the tool is touching allows the inference of a position inside of a person undergoing surgery. For example, a surgeon may attempt to use a tool to interact with a lens portion of a person's eye during cataract surgery, but the identification of tissue provided by embodiments will indicate that the tool is at a position too deep inside of the eye.

Abstract: A docking system for intraocular surgery that is configured to simultaneously: (1) physically stabilize a position and an orientation of an eye during intraocular surgical procedures; (2) preserve an unobstructed path for optical instruments; (3) provide access to the eye that allows for tool movement; (4) maintain eyeball hydration and improve the scan quality of an imaging system, such as an OCT system or a surgical microscope and may maintain or control an intraocular pressure of the eye to a stable, desired level during surgical procedures.

Abstract: An intraocular implant device includes: (1) a lens portion; and (2) a peripheral portion surrounding the lens portion, wherein the peripheral portion includes multiple fiducials including a first fiducial, a second fiducial, and a third fiducial, the first fiducial, the second fiducial, and the third fiducial are positioned in the peripheral portion so that the third fiducial is displaced from a line segment connecting the first fiducial and the second fiducial.

Abstract: A method for creating an ad-hoc network that assembles a MANET inductively with no need for any node to request any information, needing only to hear information from an ad-hoc group of at least one node, to select its uplink relay node from the group. The resulting tree-structure network efficiently communicates information upstream to a root node and to all intermediate relay nodes. Downstream communication is enabled by having nodes remember node addresses of information packets arriving from respective downstream nodes.
