1. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a first input device receiving an input command from a surgeon;
a computer coupled to said first input device, said computer transmitting a packet of information corresponding to the input command, said packet including a priority data and a data field that contains robotic data;
a second input device;
a first robotic manipulator assembly including a first surgical end effector; and
a network coupling the computer and the second input device to the first robotic manipulator so as to transmit the packet, the first input device having control of the surgical end effector in response to the priority data so that the first robotic manipulator moves per the robotic data and does not move in response to the second input device.

Abstract
A medical system that allows a medical device to be controlled by one of two input devices. The input devices may be consoles that contain handles and a screen. The medical devices may include robotic arms and instruments used to perform a medical procedure. The system may include an arbitrator that determines which console has priority to control one or more of the robotic arms/instruments.

15. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
-
input means for receiving commands to control a medical instrument;
manipulation means for moving said medical instrument in response to said input means; and
transmission means for transmitting a packet of information, said packet including a priority field and a data field that contains robotic data which correspond to said commands, wherein the manipulation means effects movement of said medical instrument in response to the input means when priority data within the priority field signifies that the input means has control of the medical instrument, and wherein the manipulation means does not effect movement of said medical instrument in response to the input means when the priority data signifies that the input means does not have control of the medical instrument. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
