    Abstract: Systems and methods for changing an end effector are provided. A robot flange may have a first receiver and a first electrical connection. An end effector may have a second receiver, a second electrical connection, and a locking assembly. The locking assembly may be configured to releasably secure the end effector to the robot flange. A connector may have an interface and an electrical connector for transferring at least one of power and data from the first electrical connection to the second electrical connection. The interface may be received by the first receiver and the second receiver when the connector is positioned between the robot flange and the end effector and the locking assembly secures the end effector to the robot flange.

    Abstract: A method for planning the insertion of bone cement into an orthopedic void of a vertebra. A three dimensional preoperative image of the vertebra is used and the voxels are analyzed to provide the voxel absorption levels. The absorption levels are transformed into mechanical properties of regions of the vertebra, such that a three dimensional mesh of the mechanical properties of the vertebra is generated. An entry point and an entry angle are selected on the vertebra, through which to inject bone cement into the void. Then, using the known viscosity of the bone cement, and using the entry point and entry angle, a finite elements analysis may be performed on the mesh to simulate the propagation of the bone cement into the orthopedic void. The simulation is repeated using different operational parameters until said propagation of said bone cement is deemed satisfactory.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating multiple registrations is provided. An image depicting a portion of a patient's anatomy and a tracking device affixed to an accurate robot may be received. A first registration of a patient coordinate space to a robotic coordinate space may be generated based on the image. A second registration of the patient coordinate space to a navigation coordinate space based at least in part on a position of second markers on the tracking device detected by a navigation system may be generated. The first registration and the second registration may be independent of each other.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring patient movement are provided. A first dataset containing information about a first tracking device and a second tracking device may be received. A second dataset containing information about the first tracking device and the second tracking device may be received. The first dataset and the second dataset may be compared to determine if a relative pose of the first tracking device and the second tracking device has changed. A notification may be generated when the relative pose of the first tracking device and the second tracking device has changed.

    Abstract: A tool cleaning station may include a housing. The housing may comprise a first end and a second end; an interior space; a tool aperture disposed between the first end and the second end and in communication with the interior space; a fluid aperture in fluid communication with a fluid source and in communication with the interior space; and a drainage aperture in communication with the interior space. The station may also include a first brush rotatably disposed in the interior space and secured between the first end and the second end and the first brush may have a first axis. The station may also include a second brush rotatably disposed in the interior space and secured between the first end and the second end and the second brush may have a second axis parallel to and offset from the first axis.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated path planning of a surgical procedure, such that the optimal approach is selected from among a series of potential choices. The system is configured to plan and carry out, using a robotic surgical system, access to a surgical site starting from selection of the skin entry point. The methods select the best surgical approach and plan the physical path for robotically performing a selected surgical procedure. The path finding method uses preoperative MRI or CT images and computer vision or other image processing method to identify specific organs and tissues. The method then assigns values to a variety of parameters that define the tissue compressibility, penetrability, flexibility, and other characteristics. The system then plans an optimal path to reach the surgical target area with minimum danger of tissue damage and maximum patient safety, and encodes this information for execution by a robotic system.
