Problems solved by technology

Inaccuracies in instruments can result from improper installation of the navigation markers, distortion of the attachment points holding the navigation markers to the array of instrument shafts, and distortion of the instrument shaft itself
While the tip-in-groove method may work effectively for instruments with small, sharp tips (allowing the tip to enter the groove), this method may not be suitable for other types of instruments with larger tips, such as spatulas, when This is especially true when the tip of the instrument is larger than the groove of the tool

Abstract

The application relates to surgical robotic automation with tracking markers. Devices, systems, and methods for instrument verification or checking the accuracy of the registration of the instrument for use with surgical robot systems are disclosed. The surgical robot system may include a robot having a robot base, a robot arm coupled to the robot base, and an end-effector coupled to the robot arm. The end-effector, surgical instruments, the patient, and / or other objects to be tracked include active and / or passive tracking markers. Cameras, such as stereophotogrammetric infrared cameras, are able to detect the tracking markers. Instruments having relatively large tips may be used for verification of the instrument.
