主权项

1. A gross positioning system for use with a robotic surgical device, the system comprising:
(a) a base; (b) a body operably coupled to the base; (c) a first arm link operably coupled to the body at a first rotational joint; (d) a second arm link operably coupled to the first arm link at a second rotational joint; and (e) an extendable third arm link operably coupled to the second arm link, wherein at least a portion of the third arm link is rotatable about a third rotational joint, the third arm link comprising a connection component at a distal end of the third arm link, wherein the connection component is configured to be coupleable to the robotic surgical device.
