Abstract
One method for fleet management of robotic surgical systems includes receiving, by a management server from a robotic surgery system, a provisioning request; in response to receiving the provisioning request: generating an encryption key pair for the robotic surgery system, the encryption key pair comprising a private key and a public key, communicating the private key to the robotic surgery system, and communicating a set of secure certificates to the robotic surgery system, at least one of the secure certificates enabling secure communications between the robotic surgery system and the management server; receiving from the robotic surgery system, and using the at least one secure certificate enabling secure communications, a message indicating one or more software packages, each software package indicating a version of an installed software package on the robotic surgery system; communicating one or more software updates to the robotic surgery system based on the message; and registering, at the management server, the robotic surgery system.
