Abstract

Claims (33)

1. A system comprising:

a table configured to support a patient positioned on the table;

a column coupled to the table;

a base coupled to the column;

a first arm support coupled to the column and configured to move relative to the base, wherein the first arm support comprises a ring structure; and

a first robotic arm coupled to the first arm support, wherein the first robotic arm is configured to manipulate a medical instrument relative to the patient positioned on the table.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a second robotic arm coupled to a second arm support.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the second arm support comprises a ring structure.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the first arm support is configured to translate independently of the second arm support.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first robotic arm or the first arm support is configured to be stowable below the table.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the medical instrument comprises one of a catheter, an endoscope, or a laparoscope.

7. A system comprising:

a table configured to support a patient positioned on the table;

a column coupled to the table;

an arm support coupled to the column, wherein the arm support comprises a ring structure;

a robotic arm coupled to the arm support and configured to manipulate a medical instrument relative to the patient; and

a base coupled to the column, the base comprising a stowage area configured to receive at least one of the arm support or the robotic arm.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising a second robotic arm coupled to a second arm support.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the arm support is configured to translate independently of the second arm support.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the robotic arm or the arm support is configured to be stowable below the table.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the medical instrument comprises one of a catheter, an endoscope, or a laparoscope.

12. A system comprising:

a table configured to support a patient on the table;

a column coupled to the table;

a base coupled to the column;

a column ring coupled to the column; and

a robotic arm coupled to the column ring, the robotic arm configured to manipulate a medical instrument relative to the patient, wherein the column ring or the robotic arm is further configured to be stowable within a volume of the base.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the base comprises a panel configured to cover the volume in the base.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the panel is configured to be mechanically actuated.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the panel is configured to translate laterally to allow the robotic arm to be stowed within the volume.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the volume is sized to stow the column ring.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the column ring or the robotic arm is configured to translate into the volume for stowage.

18. The system of claim 12 , wherein the medical instrument comprises one of a catheter, an endoscope, or a laparoscope.
