Abstract: Robotic system and method are described for performing latency managed telesurgery. The system comprises drone(s) to create a wireless network in one or more geographic areas between a surgical site and a remote surgeon. The system further comprises a computer that is configured to: receive a request that indicates that a telesurgery is to be performed between the first location and the second location at a scheduled time; determine that one or more equipment is available for use at the surgical site for the telesurgery at the scheduled time; send a first instruction that triggers measurement of a latency of the wireless network; determine, during the telesurgery, whether the latency of the wireless network is acceptable; and send a first message that indicates that the latency is not acceptable, where an operation of the drone(s) is adjusted or an additional drone is deployed in the one or more geographic areas.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for using speech input to control a surgical robot are disclosed. A surgical robot is disclosed that can be controlled by a surgeon using speech input in a conversational manner. The surgical robot is provided either general commands or specific instructions, assessing whether the instructions can be completed within the capabilities of the available hardware and resources, and seeking approval from the surgeon prior to executing the instructions. Alternatively, the embodiments disclosed allow the surgeon to perform an action that cannot be safely completed by the surgical robot.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for surgical equipment monitoring are disclosed. In some embodiments, an electronic health records database and a database of surgical tools is provided. At least one sensor and at least one surgical tool are used before, during, or after a surgical procedure. The at least one sensor associated with the at least one surgical tool is monitored for at least one parameter. The monitored data is compared to the expected value of that parameter for the current step in the surgical procedure from the surgical tools database. In response to determining a potential surgical complication, the system generates a notification indicating the potential surgical complication.

Abstract: A beverage pod is provided. The beverage pod includes an outer shell having a bottom layer and a lid opposite the bottom layer. The lid is operable to be breached by a fluid injecting component of a beverage brewing machine so that a liquid can be injected into the beverage pod. The liquid mixes with a beverage material contained in a filter to form a beverage. The bottom layer is operable to be breached by a brewing pin from a beverage brewing machine. Upon breach of the bottom layer by the brewing pin, the beverage flows out of an outlet created by the brewing pin.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for autonomous surgical robot evolution and handoff for manual operation are disclosed. A robotic surgical system performs surgery and is controlled jointly by an artificial intelligence (AI) and a surgeon. The surgeon can perform the entire surgery or can alternatively allow the AI to control the surgical robot to perform a part of or the entirety of the surgery. The AI is trained using data from previous surgeries, can provide indication to the surgeon when it has been sufficient trained to take over parts of a surgery, and can prompt the surgeon when there is insufficient training data for the AI to continue. Alternatively, a supervising surgeon can manually take back control of the surgical robot from the AI.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for transcribing and performing analysis on patient data are disclosed. Data is collected from one or more medical professionals as well as sensors and imaging devices positioned on or oriented towards a patient. An analysis is performed on the patient data and the data is presented to a medical professional via a verbal interface in a conversational manner, allowing the medical professional to provide additional data such as observations or instructions which may be used for further analysis or to perform actions related to the patient's care.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for customized kit assembly for surgical implants are disclosed. A robotic surgical system designs and customizes a surgical implant and its surgical implant components. The surgical implant and its surgical implant components are assembled into a kit that is customized for a specific patient. The robotic surgical procedure using the kit can additionally select from available generic, off-the-shelf surgical implant components or customized surgical implant components.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides devices, systems and methods directed towards smart plurality of sensors for power management. More specifically, the present disclosure provides devices, systems and methods that can reduce the amount of power consumed by the plurality of sensors by evaluating when sensors should be activated or deactivated. By reducing the amount of time a particular sensor is actively polling for information, power consumed by the plurality of sensors associated with the wearable device can be reduced.

Abstract: Wearable devices that predict the context in which they are used based on previously tracked context data, and methods associated with the same, are provided. A wearable device may include a processor, a sensor that records data associated with a user of the wearable device, and memory storing executable instructions. By way of executing the instructions, the wearable device may receive context data representing a first context from the user. The wearable device may correlate the received context data with a first set of recorded sensor data. A second set of recorded sensor data may be recorded subsequent to recording the first set of recorded sensor data. The wearable device may then predict a second context associated with the second set of recorded sensor data based on the correlation between the context data received from the user and the first set of recorded sensor data. The user can label newly identified contexts.

Abstract: A three-dimensional selectively actuating interface system includes mating complementary raised and recessed surfaces, which may be projected in the shape of an indicium, such as a trade logo or trade mark, to limit the number of spatial relationships at which two sub-parts of an assembly may be assembled. Additional complementary opposing surface irregularities disposed on the raised and recessed surfaces provide a further mechanical restriction in a height direction on the number of possible spatial relationships at which the two sub-parts may be matably assembled. Combined, there is only a single spatial orientation at which the two sub-parts may be assembled. In addition, an electronic switching or detection system may be implemented, which is activated by the proper mating of the two sub-parts. The detection system acts an electronic switch for turning on (or off) another system coupled to the assembly.
