    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for a robotic arm guide used as a depth stop. For example, a system for positioning a surgical tool includes a surgical robotic system having a robot arm with a guide sleeve, the guide sleeve defining axial and lateral directions. The system is further configured to (i) receive a surgical plan associated with a subject, the surgical plan including three-dimensional preoperative data related to the subject, (ii) determine, based on the surgical plan, a desired trajectory of a distal end of the surgical tool as the surgical tool is inserted into the guide sleeve, and (iii) transmit one or more control signals to the surgical robotic system, causing the surgical robotic system to orient and position the guide sleeve such that the distal end of the surgical tool follows the desired trajectory when the surgical tool is inserted in the guide sleeve.

    Abstract: A method for robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery involves calculating, based on a surgical plan, an insertion vector for an MIS port; causing a robotic arm to hold the MIS port in a pose that corresponds to the insertion vector; detecting, with a sensor on the robotic arm, a force applied to the robotic arm via the MIS port; maintaining the MIS port in the pose when the detected force is lower than a predetermined threshold; and generating an alert when the detected force exceeds the predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: A low radiation, intra-operative method using two-dimensional imaging to register the positions of surgical implants relative to their pre-operative planned positions. Intraoperatively, a pair of two-dimensional fluoroscope images in different planes or a single three-dimensional image is acquired and compared to a set of three-dimensional preoperative images, to allow registration of the implant region anatomy. A second set of intraoperative fluoroscope images is acquired of the surgical area with implants in place. The second set of images is compared with the first set of intraoperative images to ascertain alignment of the implants. Registration between first and second intraoperative image sets is accomplished using the implants themselves as fiducial markers, and the process repeated until an acceptable configuration of the implants is obtained. The method is particularly advantageous for spinal surgery.

    Abstract: A method of aligning an imaging device in connection with robotic surgery includes causing a robot to position a reference target over a body of a patient; receiving image data from an imaging device; identifying, with an image processing algorithm, at least a first portion of an anatomical element in the image data; identifying, with a target detection algorithm, at least a first portion of a reference target in the image data; comparing a determined location of the imaging device, the reference target, and the anatomical element to yield a location determination and causing at least one of the robot to re-position the reference target or the imaging device to re-position.
