A surgical system includes: (1) an imaging device configured to acquire imaging data of a surgical site; (2) a surgical manipulator configured to hold a surgical tool; and (3) a controller connected to the imaging device and the surgical manipulator, wherein the controller is configured to receive the imaging data from the imaging device and derive, from the imaging data, an insertion trajectory for the surgical tool through an incision at the surgical site.

System and method for automated image-guided robotic intraocular surgery

A system for intraocular robotic surgery includes: (1) a set of mounts to receive a tool collar to which a surgical tool is secured; (2) a rotational actuator connected to the set of mounts to drive rotation of the set of mounts; and (3) a translational actuator connected to the set of mounts to drive linear translation of the set of mounts.

Rapid and precise tool exchange mechanism for intraocular robotic surgical systems

A docking system for intraocular surgery that is configured to simultaneously: (1) physically stabilize a position and an orientation of an eye during intraocular surgical procedures; (2) preserve an unobstructed path for optical instruments; (3) provide access to the eye that allows for tool movement; (4) maintain eyeball hydration and improve the scan quality of an imaging system, such as an OCT system or a surgical microscope and may maintain or control an intraocular pressure of the eye to a stable, desired level during surgical procedures.

Docking system to stabilize eyeball during intraocular surgery

An intraocular implant device includes: (1) a lens portion; and (2) a peripheral portion surrounding the lens portion, wherein the peripheral portion includes multiple fiducials including a first fiducial, a second fiducial, and a third fiducial, the first fiducial, the second fiducial, and the third fiducial are positioned in the peripheral portion so that the third fiducial is displaced from a line segment connecting the first fiducial and the second fiducial.

Intraoperative assessment of implant positioning

A robotic surgery system includes: (1) a positioning stage and (2) at least one manipulator arm mounted to the positioning stage, wherein the manipulator arm includes a track and a tool carriage moveably mounted to the track, and the tool carriage includes a base and a pair of light emitting devices mounted to the base.
