Abstract: Systems and methods employing at least one hand controller for controlling a robotic assembly of a surgical robotic system are provided. The hand controller may be used in a surgeon console of a surgical robotic system. The hand controller may include a contoured housing having an upper surface, an inside side surface adjacent the upper surface, an outside side surface facing away from the first side surface, and a lower surface facing away from the upper surface. The hand controller may include a plurality of buttons including a first button positioned on the upper surface and a second button positioned on one of the upper surface, the inside side surface, or the outside side surface; a first touch input device positioned on the upper surface; and a first paddle mounted to either of the inside side surface or the outside side surface.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing a surgery within an internal cavity of a subject are provided herein. An example method for controlling a robotic assembly of a surgical robotic system includes, while at least a portion of the robotic assembly is disposed in an interior cavity of a subject, receiving a first control mode selection input from an operator and changing a current control mode of the surgical robotic system to a first control mode in response to the first control mode selection input; while the surgical robotic system is in the first control mode, receiving a first control input from hand controllers; in response to receiving the first control input, changing a position and/or an orientation of: at least a portion of the camera assembly, of at least a portion of the robotic arm assembly, or both, while maintaining a stationary position of instrument tips of the end effectors disposed at distal ends of the robotic arms.

Abstract: An accessory mounting system and mounting method thereof provides an effective solution for sectioning a portion of a room and for organizing tools, objects and cables involved in the activity that gives rise to the need for sectioning or organizing the room. In particular, the present invention provides an accessory mounting system and method whereby accessories can be mounted to poles that are designed for use in temporary partitioning systems, or to other poles such as painter's poles. Such accessories can include, for example, a caution tape dispenser that mounts to a side surface of a pole following installation of the pole, and various pole clips that locate the caution tape at other poles in a clean, visually attractive, and effective manner. Other accessories include tool mounts, cable mounts, shelves, trays, drawers, hooks, camera or laser mounts, and the like, all attachable to a side surface of a pole following installation of the pole.
