Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating interactions between a medical device (e.g., an imaging device, a surgical tool, a robotic arm, etc.) and a patient using radio frequency (RF) co-localization are provided. The systems include a radio-frequency (RF) interrogator system, one or more first RF target devices for coupling to a patient support for supporting a patient with respect to whom a medical device is to perform a task, and one or more second RF target devices for coupling to the medical device. A controller determines a position of the patient support within an RF interrogator system reference frame, a first position of the medical device within the RF interrogator system reference frame, a transformation between the RF interrogator system reference frame and a patient support reference frame, and a second position of the medical device within the patient support reference frame.

Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating interactions between a robotic arm and a movable platform using radio frequency (RF) co-localization are provided. The systems include target devices; an interrogator system comprising RF antennas, each of the RF antennas configured to transmit RF signals to the target devices and/or receive RF signals from the target devices; and a controller. The controller is configured to control at least one of the RF antennas to transmit one or more first RF signals to a target device coupled to a movable platform; control at least some of the RF antennas to receive second RF signals from at least the target device; determine a position of the movable platform using the received second RF signals; and determine, using the position of the movable platform, a target position to which to move an end effector of a robotic arm in order to perform a task.
