A robotic navigation system includes a robot base (); a robotic arm () comprising a proximal portion secured to the robot base, a distal portion movable relative to the proximal portion, and a tracking marker () secured to the robotic arm proximate the distal portion; at least one processor; a navigation system including a tracking marker sensor configured to identify positions of the tracking marker in a first coordinate space; and a memory. The memory stores instructions that cause the at least one processor to: cause the robotic arm () to move to a plurality of different poses; receive information relating to a position of the tracking marker () in a second coordinate space when the robotic arm is in each of the plurality of different poses; and compare the positions of the tracking marker in the first coordinate space to the positions of the tracking marker in the second coordinate space.

Time-spaced robotic reference frames

An electrosurgical device including an elongated body extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion and defining an internal passageway configured to convey tissue from the distal portion to the proximal portion, and a coring electrode positioned at the distal portion of the elongated body, where the coring electrode is at an opening to the internal passageway, and where the coring electrode is configured to deliver electromagnetic energy to adjacent tissue to cut a volume of the tissue as the tissue is conveyed into the internal passageway.

Energized corers with energized internals

Disclosed is a system for assisting in guiding and performing a procedure on a subject. The subject may be any appropriate subject such as inanimate object and/or an animate object. The guide and system may include various manipulable or movable members, such as robotic systems, and may be registered to selected coordinate systems.
