Abstract
The present disclosure provides a positioning tool, a robotic arm system, and a surgical system. The positioning tool includes a body, a registration tip, and a trackable element. The body is used to connect with a terminal of a robotic arm at one end and connect to the registration tip at the other end. The registration tip is used to abut a predetermined position. The trackable element is to be disposed on the body, the registration tip or the robotic arm and is used to communicate with a navigation device. The positioning tool provided in present disclosure is an integrated registration tool, which is able to be used to accomplish registrations for both the robotic arm and the object without replacements of the registration tool during the entire registration process, thereby simplifing the operation and shortening the operation time.
