STRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A TELEOPERATIONAL MEDICAL SYSTEM

摘要

A teleoperated medical system for performing a medical procedure at a surgical site includes a teleoperated assembly having a plurality of motorized surgical arms configured to assist in the surgical procedure. Motor-driven surgical arms have movement limits that define boundaries beyond which the surgical arm cannot cross when it touches the patient. The teleoperated medical system also includes a control system having surgical critical limits stored therein. The surgical threshold limit is the edge of the boundary over which the surgical arm will potentially move in order to properly perform a surgical procedure. The control system is configured to compare the movement limit with the surgical critical limit and notify the operator via the output device when the surgical critical limit is outside the range of movement limited by the movement limit.
