CMR Surgical had four patents in future of work during Q4 2023. The patents filed by CMR Surgical Ltd in Q4 2023 focus on control systems for surgical robot systems. These systems involve multiple robot arms with configurable joints for surgical procedures. The control systems are designed to receive inputs from operators, generate control signals for arm movement, and ensure safety by transitioning to a safe state in case of a fault. Additionally, the control systems allow for reconfiguration of the robotic system during surgery, enabling one arm to operate inside the patient while the other arm assists with instrument insertion and maintains a specific pivot point based on inputs from a remote surgeon console.

Application: Control system for surgical robot system with safety monitor (Patent ID: US20230390009A1)

The patent filed by CMR Surgical Ltd. describes a control system for managing a surgical robot system, including a main controller receiving inputs from an operator and generating control signals for the robot arm, as well as a safety monitor analyzing communications to detect faults and transition the system to a safe state if necessary. The safety monitor can identify various fault states, such as incompatible software, incorrect arm movements, or communication frequency deviations, and take appropriate actions to ensure safety.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims detailing the functions of the safety monitor in transitioning devices to a safe state by blocking communications or filtering them through a safety device. It also outlines methods for detecting fault states based on unique identifiers, arm movements exceeding speed limits, or software compatibility issues. The safety monitor plays a crucial role in independently verifying the proper operation of the main controller, operator console devices, and surgical robots, ensuring the overall safety and reliability of the surgical robot system.
