Abstract
A control arm for a robotic surgical system includes a base, a swivel member, a vertical member, a horizontal member, and a drive mechanism. The swivel member is rotatably supported on the base about a first axis of rotation. The vertical member is pivotally supported on the swivel member about a second axis of rotation. The horizontal member is pivotally supported by the vertical member about a third axis of rotation. The drive mechanism is disposed on the base and is configured to independently rotate the swivel member about the first axis of rotation, to pivot the vertical member about the second axis of rotation, and to pivot the horizontal member about the third axis of rotation.
