Some embodiments are directed to a surgical robotic system including a suspension structure 1, a carriage 2 arranged to be mounted to the suspension structure, and a manipulator arm 3 arranged to be detachably docked to the carriage via a docking mechanism. The docking mechanism includes a first docking connector on the manipulator arm and a second docking connector on the carriage. The first and the second docking connector may establish an electrical connection between the manipulator arm and the carriage when the manipulator arm is docked. The manipulator arm includes a connector for connecting the manipulator arm via a cable to an electric power supply, and be configured to supply the carriage with the electrical power via the electrical connection when the manipulator arm is docked.

Embedded and/or pooled robotic process automation (RPA) robots are disclosed. A master robot initiates one or more RPA robots in a deterministic and/or probabilistic manner. For instance, when a step in an RPA workflow of the master robot is encountered where an action is not clear, some data is missing, there are multiple possible branches, etc., one or more embedded and/or pooled minion robots may be called upon by the master robot to determine the next action to take, to retrieve missing data, to determine which branch is appropriate, etc. The master robot may perform orchestration functionality with respect to the minion robot(s).
