POSITIONING SYSTEMS FOR ROBOTIC-SURGERY DEVICES

A positioning system for a robotic-surgery device comprises a lower portion comprising a pillar section extending from a wheeled base, an upper portion supported by the pillar section and comprising a docking interface adapted for securing thereto a motor-control unit of a robotic-surgery device, and electronic circuitry programmed to cause the upper portion to simultaneously displace vertically and pitch about a pitch-axis member mediating between the pillar section and the upper-portion, in response to a remote user input, so as to pivot a robotic-surgery device secured to the docking interface about a distal end of a surgical arm proximally seated in a surgical-arm-receiving volume of the motor-control unit.
