Abstract
In this patent disclosure, various embodiments of using near-field communication (NFC) to facilitate the transfer of data and power between a robotic surgical system and a surgical tool attached to the robotic surgical system are disclosed. In one aspect, a process for automatically managing surgical tool attachment in a robotic surgical system can begin by detecting an attachment of a surgical tool. The process next establishes a secure near-field communication (NFC) link between a first NFC module embedded in the robotic surgical system and a second NFC module embedded in the surgical tool. Next, the process requests tool calibration data from the surgical tool via the secure NFC link. The process subsequently uses the received tool calibration data to initialize the surgical tool so that the surgical tool is ready for use.
