Abstract
A system includes a robotic arm, an instrument, and a control module. The control module is operable to drive movement of the robotic arm to thereby move the instrument relative to the patient. The control module is configured to monitor one or more parameters indicative of a temperature of a portion of the end effector of the instrument; to determine whether the temperature of the portion of the end effector crosses a threshold value, based at least in part on the one or more monitored parameters; and to restrict movement of the end effector in response to determining that the temperature of the portion of the end effector crosses the threshold value. The restricted movement may include removal of the end effector from the patient or movement of the end effector after removal of the end effector from the patient.
