Abstract
A surgical system includes a surgical arm a control system, and a motor assembly. The surgical arm is configured to removably couple an instrument to the surgical system. The surgical arm is adjustable to different configurations to change a position of an instrument coupled to the surgical arm. The motor assembly is separate from the control system and includes a motor, a memory to store calibrated parameters of the motor, and electronics coupled to the memory and the motor. The electronics are configured to retrieve the calibrated parameters of the motor from the memory, provide the calibrated parameters of the motor to the control system, receive an instruction for driving the motor from the control system, and send a control signal to the motor based on the instruction. The instruction is based on the calibrated parameters of the motor.
