Abstract
Certain aspects relate to a robotic surgery system, including a robotic arm with a base, a proximal portion and a distal portion. A tool driver is detachably coupled to a medical instrument and the tool driver is coupled with the distal portion of the robotic arm. A load cell is positioned between the proximal portion and the distal portion such that the load cell supports the distal portion and the tool driver. The load cell is configured to detect forces that interact with the distal portion or the tool driver to enhance user control of the robotic arm and/or the safe operation of the robotic arm.
