Abstract
Described herein is robotic surgical system that includes a robot-held input device capable of communicating with operating room equipment (e.g., any equipment that a surgeon accesses during an operation). The input device is easily accessible by the surgeon as the user interface is located on the robot. The input device may be covered with a drape, such as a drape used to cover the robot or the robotic arm thereby enabling a surgeon to utilize the input device from a sterile environment.
