Abstract
Tracking constellations for use with surgical instruments, and associated systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a tracking constellation includes (i) a support, (ii) a plurality of first standoffs extending from the support to a first height, and (iii) a plurality of second standoffs extending from the support to a second height different than the first height. The tracking constellation can further include a plurality of markers mounted to corresponding ones of the first standoffs or the second standoffs. The markers can lay in a common plane. The support can extend at a generally orthogonal angle to an instrument when the tracking constellation is coupled to the instrument such that the common plane is angled relative to the instrument.
