Embodiment Construction

[0035] Non-limiting examples of various aspects and variations of the invention are described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Robot Arm Overview

[0037] In general, robotic or robot-assisted surgical systems (eg, for enabling minimally invasive surgical procedures) may include one or more robotic arms for manipulating surgical instruments, such as during minimally invasive procedures. The robotic arm may comprise a plurality of links, a plurality of actuated joint modules enabling relative movement between adjacent links. For example, if Figure 1A As shown, the robotic arm may include a first section 110 having a proximal end and a distal end and having a proximal end (coupled to the distal end of the first section 110 ) and a distal end The second section 150 of . Additionally, instrument driver 180 may be coupled to the distal end of second section 150 and configured to retain and actuate a surgical instrument through cannula 190 .

Abstract

The invention discloses a robotic surgical system that includes a robotic arm comprising a first segment having a first plurality of links and a first plurality of actuated joint modules providing therobotic arm with at least five degrees of freedom, and a second segment having a proximal end coupled to a distal end of the first segment, and comprising a second plurality of links and a second plurality of actuated joint modules providing the robotic arm with at least two degrees or freedom. The robotic surgical system further comprises an instrument driver coupled to the second segment and configured to hold a surgical instrument. The second arm segment is configured to move the surgical instrument within a generally spherical workspace, and the first arm segment is configured to move thelocation of the spherical workspace.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 395,704, filed September 16, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to robotic or robot-assisted systems, and more particularly to robotic arms for robotic or robot-assisted surgical systems. Background of the invention [0004] Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as laparoscopic surgery involves techniques aimed at reducing tissue damage during surgical procedures. For example, laparoscopic surgery typically involves making many small incisions in a patient (eg, in the abdominal cavity) and introducing one or more tools and at least one camera into the patient through these incisions. Surgical procedures are then performed using the introduced tools and the visual aid provided by the camera. [0005] In general, MIS provides benefits such as reduced pat...
