Multi-port surgical robotic system architecture

Abstract

A robotic surgery system includes an orienting platform, a first manipulator, a second manipulator supported by the orienting platform, and a first set-up linkage by which the first manipulator is coupled to and supported by the orienting platform. The first manipulator includes a first instrument holder configured to support a first surgical instrument. The first manipulator is operable to insert and manipulate the first surgical instrument. The second manipulator includes a second instrument holder configured to support a second surgical instrument. The second manipulator is operable to insert and manipulate the second surgical instrument. The first set-up linkage is operable to selectively reposition the first manipulator relative to the orienting platform.
