  • Patent number: 12626422
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for clinical workspace simulation includes capturing a real-world environment by an imaging device of an augmented reality headset and generating a composite view by rendering a first virtual object relative to a surgical table in the real-world environment. Captured real-world environment and the rendered first virtual object are combined in the composite view, which is displayed on a display of the augmented reality headset worn by a user.

  • Publication number: 20250380995
    Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm holding a laparoscopic camera inserted through an access port. The system also includes a controller configured to generate a port location for an access port on a 3D model of a patient and generate a patient-specific setup guide for configuring the access port and the robotic arm. The system also includes an external camera configured to register the robotic arm and the patient. The system further includes a display configured to output the port location of the access port as an overlay over an external image of the patient based on registration of the robotic arm and the patient.

  • Publication number: 20240256723
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for clinical workplace simulation includes capturing a surgical parameter from one or more robotic surgical operations, based on a sensor; and determining an optimized surgical parameter based on the captured surgical parameter. The surgical parameter includes a patient habitus, a port location in a first patient, and/or a robotic arm placement relative to the first patient. The optimized surgical parameter includes an optimized port placement location in a second patient, and/or an optimized robotic arm placement location relative to the second patient.

  • Publication number: 20230181267
    Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes surgeon console having a user input device configured to generate a user input for controlling a simulated instrument, a primary display configured to display a graphical surgical simulation including a simulated instrument, and a secondary display configured to display a graphical user interface providing exchange of the simulated instrument. The system also includes a training simulation computing device operably coupled to the surgeon console having a master controller configured to receive input positions from the user input device and to output a drive command for the simulated instrument, and a simulation controller configured to simulate the simulated instrument.
