Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and systems for providing updates to a surgical robot in which a surgical robot receives a notification that there is an update available or detects a new hardware component that has been attached to the surgical robot. The surgical robot then determines if it is currently in use or is inactive and if inactive the surgical robot downloads the latest update. Additionally, the system provides a process of remote monitoring of telesurgical robots for safety and redundancy, in which the surgical robot collects data representing at least one assistance parameter of the surgical robot during a surgical procedure. The data is assessed, and it is determined if non-surgical assistance is required and connecting the medical professional to a technician to resolve the potential issue.
