Adaptable integrated energy control system for electrosurgical tools in robotic surgical systems
First Claim
1. A method for a minimally invasive surgical system, the method comprising:
- receiving first tool information from a storage device in a first robotic surgical tool mounted to a first robotic arm to at least determine a first tool type of the first robotic surgical tool;
receiving first equipment information about a first remote controlled equipment from the first remote controlled equipment; and
in response to receiving the first tool information and the first equipment information, automatically assigning the first remote controlled equipment to be operably coupled to the first robotic surgical tool and to one or more user interface input devices.

Abstract
A method for a minimally invasive surgical system is disclosed including reading first tool information from a storage device in a first robotic surgical tool mounted to a first robotic arm to at least determine a first tool type; reading equipment information about one or more remote controlled equipment for control thereof; comparing the first tool information with the equipment information to appropriately match a first remote controlled equipment of the one or more remote controlled equipment to the first robotic surgical tool; and mapping one or more user interface input devices of a first control console to control the first remote controlled equipment to support a function of the first robotic surgical tool.

19. An adaptable integrated user interface controller for a control console, the adaptable integrated user interface controller comprising:
-
mapping logic to couple to one or more user interface input devices to receive control signals in response to selection of the one or more user interface input devices; adaptable input/output (I/O) interface coupled to the mapping logic, wherein the adaptable I/O interface is coupled to receive signals from one or more remote controlled equipment, wherein the adaptable I/O interface is configured to receive equipment information from the one or more remote controlled equipment and adapt signal levels of the one or more user interface input devices to signal levels of the one or more remote controlled equipment; and wherein the mapping logic is configured to selectively assign the one or more user interface input devices with the one or more remote controlled equipment and one or more robotic surgical tools in response to receiving; the equipment information from the one or more remote controlled equipment, and tool information of the one or more robotic surgical tools. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27)
