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.
Surgical system user interface using cooperatively-controlled robot
According to some embodiments of the present invention, a cooperatively controlled robot includes a robotic actuator assembly comprising a tool holder and a force sensor, a control system adapted to communicate with the robotic actuator assembly and the force sensor, and an output system in communication with the control system. The tool holder is configured to receive a tool to be manipulated by a user. The control system is configured to receive an instruction from a user to switch from a robot control mode into a user interface control mode. The force sensor is configured to measure at least one of a force and a torque applied to the tool, and the control system is configured to receive an indication of the at least one of a force and a torque applied to the tool and manipulate the output system based on the indication.
