Surgical robotic system having anthropometry-based user console

Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Seating arrangement

A seating arrangement includes a base, a back arrangement and a seat arrangement each supported by the base, the back arrangement movable between an upright position and reclined position, the seat arrangement including a stop member, a shell supported on the base and forming at least a portion of the seat arrangement, the shell including a first portion and second portion movable relative to the first portion, the shell configured such that a downward force exerted on the first portion by a seated user forces the back arrangement from the reclined position toward the upright position, and a tilt limiter coupled to the base and configured to engage the stop member at both the upright position and the reclined position.

Support frame
09803798 · 2017-10-31 ·

A support frame may be mounted to a corresponding support platform. The support frame may include an elongate rigid column including a proximal end and a distal end opposite the proximal end. A platen bracket may be connected to the elongate rigid column nearer the proximal end than the distal end. A support platen may be connected to the platen bracket. A flanged sleeve may be coaxially received on the elongate rigid column nearer the distal end than the proximal end. The flanged sleeve may include a sleeve portion slidably received on the elongate rigid column and a mounting flange extending from the sleeve portion. The mounting flange may be configured to interface with the support platform. A guide sleeve may be coaxially received on the elongate rigid column between the platen bracket and the flanged sleeve. The guide sleeve may be configured to maintain the platen bracket and the flanged sleeve in a spaced apart orientation when the support frame is mounted to the corresponding support platform.

RECLINING ARMCHAIR WITH LIFTING SEAT AND EXTENDING FOOTREST

An armchair comprising a seat chassis supported on a support chassis by a pair of support columns, a chair back structure pivotally attached to a rear end of the seat chassis and to the support chassis, and a leg support structure pivotally attached to a front end of the seat chassis and connected to a beam, wherein the beam is attached the chair back structure. A first actuating device is mounted to the chair back, where a protracting end of the first actuating device is connected to the seat chassis. The armchair further comprises a second actuating device mounted to the support chassis, a footrest connected to a protracting end of the second actuating device, a third actuating device attached to the seat chassis, and a seating structure connected to a protracting end of the third actuating device and mounted above the seat chassis, wherein the seating structure includes an operative position projecting upwards and forwards by the third actuating device at a tilting angle from the seat chassis.

Adjustable Chair
20170246060 · 2017-08-31 · ·

An adjustable chair includes upper and lower base members, a seat assembly secured to the upper base member, and a chair adjusting mechanism. In an embodiment the upper base member is connected to the lower base member by first and second linking members each having a first end connected to the lower base member and a second end slideably received in corresponding first and second arcuate tracks disposed in the upper base member, such that movement of the second ends into and out of the tracks results in vertical movement of the seat assembly relative to the base. In a further embodiment the seat bottom and seat base comprise cooperating arcuate rails, tracks, and/or bearing members, where cooperative action of the arcuate rails, tracks, and/or bearing members enables the seat bottom to tilt relative to the seat base. In a further embodiment the seat bottom and seat back comprise cooperating arcuate rails, tracks, and/or bearing members, where cooperative action of the arcuate rails, tracks, and/or bearing members enables the seat back to recline relative to the seat bottom.

Mobility Assistance Device
