Surgical tools and robotic systems adaptable for treating a left side or a right side of a patient with minimal interference with the patient and surrounding operative site are disclosed. In some embodiments, a surgical tool can include a body, an end-effector, a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector. The end-effector can extend from a distal end of the body and be movable relative to the body about a pivot axis. The first connector can rigidly secure the body to a planar mechanism. The second and third connectors can rigidly secure a distal part and a proximal part of a tracker, respectively, to the body. The first and second connectors can be symmetrical to each other with respect to a plane including a longitudinal axis of the body and the pivot axis and can be suited for attachment of either the tracker or the planar mechanism.

A graphical, hierarchical document stream browser and environment for semantic (e.g. framing) and performance data analysis and interactive visualization integrates three scales: entities (competitive), entity (diachronic), and document (linguistic). The document level includes annotation and computational linguistics facilities; the entity level has calendrical and time-series focus. All levels emphasize deep linkage and network (i.e. connective/relational space) view of objects, with user-configurable connectivity. Large language model (LLM) integrations provide synthetic advisories, public opinions, reports, plot insights, comparisons; traditional natural language processing techniques and neural models are also employed. A smart plot system includes a 'plot cart' and interpreter with an analysis snippet library. Graph structure may arise via adjustable blending or perceptual optimization of canned attribute-related distance functions or via link-induction query language with deep “semantic stored procedure” subexpressions, or feed into graph neural network-style inference for predictions. Most non-LLM ongoing computational load is client-side, using precomputed hierarchical summary files.

Multilevel data analysis

A robotic surgical apparatus comprises a robot body, a lighting structure, e.g., a light ring, disposed on the robot body, an end effector connected to the robot body, and a robot navigation device connected to the robot body. The robotic surgical apparatus is a component of a robotic surgical system that includes a spatial-data acquisition device. The robotic surgical system assists a user to position the robotic surgical apparatus such that the robotic surgical apparatus may then assist the user to perform a surgical procedure. The lighting structure may be illuminated with a lighting configuration that provides a directional indication from the location of the robotic surgical apparatus toward the target location, and based on the directional indication, the user may move the robotic surgical apparatus along the direction to another location that is closer to the target location.

The present disclosure relates to a surgical system for treating an anatomical structure according to a plurality of target planes and/or axes, comprising:

Surgical system and method for triggering a position change of a robotic device

A bottle cap remover includes a pair of axially nested socket sections of different diameters depending axially from a larger-diameter grasping section. Each of the socket sections includes frictional gripping members along their inner walls that are adapted to frictionally engage different sizes and types of metal and plastic bottle caps, thereby to enable the user to twist off and remove the bottle caps by applying a relatively small twisting force to the grasping section.
