    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods for identifying a region of interest are provided. A plurality of skeletal landmarks may be identified from an image received from an imaging device. A pose of a patient may be determined based on the plurality of skeletal landmarks. A region of interest may be identified on the patient based on the determined pose. Instructions may be automatically provided to the controller to adjust a pose of a surgical instrument relative to the region of interest. The plurality of skeletal landmarks may be tracked for movement. The region of interest may be updated when movement of the plurality of skeletal landmarks is detected.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic retraction of tissues in a surgical field. Two retractor mechanisms are used on either side of an incision. Each retractor is adapted to be held by a robotic arm, which applies force on the retractor mechanism to pull dissected tissue away from the incision, thus revealing the operative field. A force sensor is employed to measure the force on the retractor, an optional tracking sensor may be used to measure the extent of tissue retraction in two or three dimensions, and both sources of information provided to the robotic controller. By monitoring feedback from either the force sensor or the tracking sensor, the system is able to maintain equal retraction on both sides of the incision. The retractor elements incorporate mechanisms that move down the tissue as the retractors are pulled laterally.
