  • Publication number: 20240358453
    Abstract: An interface for a robotic arm comprising: a body having a first axial face adapted to be connected to a distal face of a link of a robotic arm, a second axial face adapted to be connected to a proximal face of an end effector, the second axial face having a geometry differing from a geometry of the proximal face of the end effector so as to define a peripheral band in the second axial face, the peripheral band facing distally. A connection configuration is provided for the interface to be fixed to the link and for the end effector to be fixed to the interface. Circuitry is embedded in the body. At least one light source in the peripheral band, the at least one light source connected to the circuitry to produce light in a distal direction of the robotic arm.

  • Publication number: 20240358454
    Abstract: A robotized computer-assisted surgery system may include a processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the processing unit and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processing unit for obtaining readings from some capacitive sensors representative of at least one object within range; generating a surface model of the at least one object from the readings; and continuously tracking and outputting the position and orientation of the at least one object relative to the robot arm, using the readings and the surface model.

  • Publication number: 20240083197
    Abstract: A trolley can be configured to maneuver an implement around a floor. The trolley can include a frame that can be configured to attach to the implement and a first wheel assembly that can be attached to the frame opposite the implement. A second wheel assembly can be attached to the frame opposite the implement. The first and second wheel assemblies can have a hollow center shaft. A first stabilizer cartridge can be inserted into the hollow center shaft of the first wheel assembly. A second stabilizer cartridge can be inserted into the hollow center shaft of the second wheel assembly. An actuator module can be attached to the frame and the first and second stabilizer cartridges. The actuator module can move the first and second stabilizer cartridges within the hollow center shaft of the first and second wheel assemblies, respectively.

  • Publication number: 20240038378
    Abstract: A modular medical device platform can include a chassis forming a plurality of rack bays each including a pair of drawer slides, a plurality of controller modules each including a drawer enclosure including flanges couplable to the pair of drawer slides with the rack bay of the plurality of rack bays, and a plurality of module locks affixed to the chassis and aligned with each rack bay of the plurality of rack bays. Each module lock of the plurality of module locks can include an electrical connector and a locking mechanism adapted to automatically lock a controller module of the plurality of controller modules as the controller module is slid into the rack bay on the pair of drawer slides.

  • Publication number: 20220415473
    Abstract: A robotic surgical system that can include any one or combination of a robotic arm connected to a base, an end effector connected to a distal end of the robotic arm, at least one instrument or accessory configured to mount to the end effector, a data storage device, a data reading device and processing circuitry is shown and described. The processing circuitry can be configured to: receive a first data from the data reading device regarding the data storage device, determine based upon the first data an identity of the at least one instrument or accessory, and in response to such determination, load calibration data corresponding to the least one instrument or accessory or issue a warning regarding the at least one instrument or accessory.

  • Publication number: 20220265386
    Abstract: An instrument retainer can be receivable in an end effector of a surgical arm. The instrument retainer can include a body and a collar. The body can include an instrument bore extending through the body along a longitudinal axis. The body can also include a distal portion and a proximal portion including a proximal surface. The proximal portion can form a radiused funnel connecting the instrument bore to the proximal surface. The collar can extend radially outward from the body. The collar can be engageable with the end effector to position the instrument retainer within the end effector.
