Robotic Collision Boundary Determination for Surgical Systems
Summary
The USPTO published patent application US20260090856A1 for Auris Health, Inc., covering techniques for determining collision boundaries for robotic arms in surgical systems. The invention relates to controlling robotic arm movement based on detected regions near objects in the surgical environment. Application No. 19411024 was filed December 5, 2025.
What changed
Auris Health, Inc. has received a published patent application (US20260090856A1) for robotic collision boundary determination in surgical systems. The application describes a system that detects when a robotic arm is positioned adjacent to an object and determines a region associated with that object based on the position of the distal end of the robotic arm. The system can then control the robotic arm to move within the environment based on this determined region, potentially preventing collisions during surgical procedures.
This is a patent application filing and does not impose any compliance obligations on other entities. Medical device manufacturers and healthcare providers using robotic surgical systems may wish to monitor this application's progress, as it may indicate future competitive developments in collision avoidance technology for surgical robotics. No immediate action is required.

Abstract
Techniques relate to determining a region associated with an object to assist in controlling a robotic arm. For example, a system can determine that the robotic arm is positioned adjacent to an object within an environment. The system can determine a region in the environment that is associated with the object based at least in part on a position of a distal end of the robotic arm. The system can control the robotic arm or another robotic arm to move in the environment based at least in part on the region.
