Filed:

Dec 31, 2018
Appl. No.:

16/237444
Inventors:

- Morrisville NC, US
Matthew R. Penny - Holly Springs NC, US
Mohan Nathan - Chapel Hill NC, US
International Classification:

A61B 34/20
A61B 1/018
A61B 1/06
A61B 1/04
A61B 17/34
Abstract:

A robotic surgical system comprises a surgical instrument moveable by a robotic manipulator within a work area. A processor is configured to receive input identifying a structure at the operative site to be avoided by the surgical instrument, to automatically determine whether the surgical instrument is approaching contact with the structure, and to initiate an avoidance step if the system determines that the surgical instrument is approaching contact with the structure.

Appl. No.:

15/975765
Inventors:

- Morrisville NC, US
Matthew R. Penny - Holly Springs NC, US
International Classification:

A61B 34/00
A61B 34/30
A61B 46/10
Abstract:

A mechanical assembly is used to communicate to a robotic system information about a type of instrument mounted to a robotic manipulator arm. The assembly includes a sensor and a receiving component on the robotic manipulator arm. The receiving component includes a member moveable relative to said at least one sensor. A first surgical instrument is attachable to the robotic manipulator arm and is provided with a first mechanical identification feature positioned to cause movement of the moveable member relative to the sensor, causing a first response at the sensor. A second surgical instrument is similarly attachable, but causes a second response at the sensor that differs from the first response. This allows the robotic system to determine instrument type based on the response of the sensor from attachment of an instrument.
