One method for fleet management of robotic surgical systems includes receiving, by a management server from a robotic surgery system, a provisioning request; in response to receiving the provisioning request: generating an encryption key pair for the robotic surgery system, the encryption key pair comprising a private key and a public key, communicating the private key to the robotic surgery system, and communicating a set of secure certificates to the robotic surgery system, at least one of the secure certificates enabling secure communications between the robotic surgery system and the management server; receiving from the robotic surgery system, and using the at least one secure certificate enabling secure communications, a message indicating one or more software packages, each software package indicating a version of an installed software package on the robotic surgery system; communicating one or more software updates to the robotic surgery system based on the message; and registering, at the management server, the robotic surgery system.

Systems and methods for fleet management of robotic surgical systems

A method for controlling a plurality of surgical devices includes: receiving a foot pedal signal indicating a foot pedal activation of a first foot pedal of a plurality of foot pedals; generating a control signal based on the foot pedal signal, wherein: if the foot pedal signal indicates that only the first foot pedal is pressed, then generating the control signal to cause a generator to activate a first surgical device associated with the first foot pedal; if the foot pedal signal indicates that the first foot pedal remains pressed and a second foot pedal is newly pressed, then generating the control signal to cause the generator to: maintain activation of the first surgical device associated with the first foot pedal; and not activate a second surgical device associated with the second foot pedal; and outputting the control signal to the generator.

Control of multiple generators for surgical devices

A robotic system includes a communication system coupled to communicate with one or more external devices that include first user preferences. The robotic system also includes memory storing a database including second user preferences. A controller is coupled to the user interface, the communication system, and the memory, and the controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the robotic system to perform operations. Operations may include retrieving the first user preferences using the communication system; retrieving the second user preferences from the database; resolving conflicts between the first user preferences and the second user preferences to create a final set of user preferences; and configuring the robotic system with the revised set of user preferences.

Global synchronization of user preferences

One example method for comprehensively recording and reporting messages generated within a robotic surgical system includes capturing and storing network data on an internal network of the robotic surgical system. The method further includes subscribing to and receiving published messages from processes of interest executing on one or more task devices of the robotic surgical system. The received published messages each is associated with a priority. The method further involves sending at least a portion of the published messages according to the respective message priorities to a server device for analysis. Based on the analysis result, the method involves causing the surgical robotic system to be modified to improve its performance.

Comprehensive messaging system for robotic surgical systems

A computer-implemented method includes identifying a bit-mapped image of a line or polygon shape; mapping the image to a texture map that is slightly large in at least one dimension than the bit-mapped image; overlaying the bit-mapped image and the texture map; computing pixel shading for pixels between an outer edge of the bit-mapped image and the texture map by measuring a distance from particular ones of the pixels to an idealized line near an edge of the bit-mapped image; and displaying the bit-mapped image with pixels at its edge shaded according to the computed pixel shading.

In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for conflating a base dataset with a secondary dataset may generally include defining a locker boundary around each of a plurality of base polylines of the base dataset and identifying a plurality of initial matched segments and a plurality of initial mismatched segments for a plurality of secondary polylines of the secondary dataset, wherein each portion of the secondary polylines that is included within a locker boundary is defined as an initial matched segment and each portion of the secondary polylines that is not included within a locker boundary is defined as an initial mismatched segment. The method may also include identifying an offset parameter defined between a first initial matched segment and its corresponding base polyline using a three-vertex approximation and, if the offset parameter exceeds a predetermined offset threshold, defining the first initial matched segment as a mismatched segment.

Embodiments relate to determining commute routes and clustering commute routes from a user's location history. Points in the user's location history may be clustered to find the user's home and work locations. Additionally, points along the user's commute may be identified to determine the user's typical commute. Similar commutes can be clustered together, and used to suggest various services to the user.

Extracting patterns from location history

Methods for drawing a rotated rectangle on an electronic device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving content configured for display and analyzing the content to identify a skew angle associated with the content. The method also includes receiving an input request to draw a rectangle overlaid upon the content, and providing, for display, the rectangle overlaid upon the content based upon the input request, the rectangle rotated according to the skew angle. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.

Rotated rectangle drawing on electronic devices

A computer-implemented method for displaying shadowing effects includes displaying, on a computing device, a visual object that has a first edge and a second edge that is different from the first edge; generating a shadow for the visual object using a first shadowing technique along the first edge; generating, along the second edge, shading for the visual object using a technique that differs from the first shadowing technique; and updating the shadow and the shading substantially simultaneously with movement of the visual object by a user of the computing device.
