SURGICAL ROBOTICS SYSTEM

摘要

A surgical robotics system with robotic arms is configurable to perform a variety of surgical procedures. The surgical robotics system includes a table, column, base, and robotic arms that are either column-mounted, rail-mounted, or mounted on a separate unit. In a column-mounted configuration, the column includes column rings that translate vertically and rotate about the column. The robotic arms are attached to the column rings. In a rail-mounted configuration, the base includes base rails that translate along the base. The robotic arms are attached to the base rails. In both configurations, the robotic arms move independently from each other and include a multiple arm segments. Each arm segment provides an additional degree of freedom to the robotic arm. Thus, the surgical robotics system may position the robotic arms into numerous configurations to access different parts of a patient's body.

1. A surgical robotics system comprising:
a base for supporting the system on a floor; a column coupled to the base, the column having a center vertical axis oriented approximately perpendicular to the floor; a table coupled to the column and configured to support a patient undergoing a surgical procedure; one or more column rings coupled to the column, each column ring configured to vertically translate independently from each other ring along the center vertical axis, and configured to rotate independently from each other ring about the center vertical axis; and a plurality of robotic arms, each robotic arm coupled to one of the column rings, each robotic arm comprising a plurality of arm segments, each arm segment configured to move independently from each other arm segment, and wherein one or more of the robotic arms are configured to manipulate a surgical instrument to perform the surgical procedure.
