Abstract: Implementations relate to a moveable display unit on a track. In some implementations, a control unit includes a support linkage including a first support coupled to a second support, a track member coupled to a distal portion of the second support, and a display unit coupled to the track member. The display unit includes a display device. The display unit is linearly translatable in first and second degrees of freedom provided by the support linkage. The display unit is rotatable, with respect to the second support, about a tilt axis in a third degree of freedom defined by the track member.

Abstract: A system includes a manipulator arm and a cannula mount arm. The manipulator arm includes a link and a locking assembly coupled to the link. The cannula mount arm includes a latch. The cannula mount arm is configured to be extended from the link to an extended position. The locking assembly is configured to engage with the latch when the cannula mount arm is extended from the link to the extended position so as to lock the cannula mount arm in the extended position. Activation of an electrical component coupled to the locking assembly is inhibited when a cannula is docked to the cannula mount arm.

Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device and methods for using such a control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a control body including a surface. A force sensor is coupled to the control body, the force sensor configured to sense forces applied to the surface of the control body and provide sensor signals in accordance with amounts of the forces received on sides of the control body caused by a pinching of the control body between fingers of a user. At least one sensor is configured to detect at least one of a position and an orientation of the control body in a working environment of the control body.

Abstract: A cannula for a surgical system may include a magnet located in a position to be sensed by the surgical system in a mounted position of the cannula to the surgical system. At least one of a presence of the magnet and a polarity of the magnet is sensed in the mounted position of the cannula to provide identification information relating to the cannula. Exemplary embodiments further encompass a patient side cart for a teleoperated surgical system, the patient side cart including a base, a main column, and an arm connected to the main column. The arm may include a mount to receive a cannula and a reader to sense a magnet of an identification device in the cannula so as to receive identification information relating to a mounted cannula.

Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a control body comprising a proximal end, a thumb grip portion, and a finger grip portion. The control body has a length configured to engage the proximal end of the control body in the palm of a hand of the user while the hand engages the thumb grip portion with a thumb of the hand and the finger grip portion with a finger of the hand. The control body is configured to allow the proximal end of the control body to be selectively engaged by the palm of the hand and selectively disengaged from the palm of the hand while the hand engages the thumb grip portion with the thumb of the hand and the finger grip portion with the finger of the hand.

Abstract: A teleoperable medical system comprises a manipulator arm and a cannula mount coupled to the manipulator arm. The manipulator arm comprises an interface configured to operably couple with a medical instrument. The cannula mount is configured to removably mount a cannula to the manipulator arm in a position to permit removable insertion of the medical instrument through the cannula. The cannula mount comprises a receptacle configured to receive an attachment portion of the cannula in a mounted state of the cannula, and a reader positioned to be in magnetic field sensing proximity to the attachment portion of the cannula in the mounted state of the cannula. The teleoperable medical system comprises a controller configured to receive output signals from the reader and determine identification information about the cannula based on the output signals.

Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a thumb grip member including a thumb grip receptive to a thumb of a hand of a user. The master control device includes a finger grip member coupled to the thumb grip member at a proximal end of the master control device and extending toward a distal end of the master control device, where the finger grip member includes a finger grip receptive to multiple fingers of the hand. The thumb grip member and finger grip member are movable in a pinching configuration with respect to each other. The master control device includes a sensor coupled to at least one of the thumb grip member or finger grip member to sense relative positions of the thumb grip member and finger grip member with respect to each other in the pinching configuration.

Abstract: A cannula mount for a surgical system may include a body having an aperture to receive a portion of a cannula. The cannula mount may further include a pivotable clamping arm to engage the portion of the cannula received in the aperture. The clamping arm may include a cam follower surface. The cannula mount may further include a block moveable between a first position and a second position. The block may include a cam surface. The cam surface of the block may engage the cam follower surface of the clamping arm in the first position to actuate the clamping arm to a closed position in which the clamping arm engages the portion of the cannula received in the aperture. The clamping arm may be permitted to move to an open position in which the clamping arm does not engage the cannula when the block is in the second position.
