More Information
Summary:A robotic surgical system is disclosed having a ring network for communicating information between a controller and nodes of one or more robotic arms. A communications protocol is described by which synchronous and asynchronous information can be communicated to and from the nodes of the robotic arms. Also disclosed are various aspects of a physical layer that can be used with the network. Système chirurgical robotique comportant un réseau annulaire pour communiquer des informations entre un dispositif de commande et des nuds d'un ou plusieurs bras robotiques.Un protocole de communication est décrit par lequel des informations synchrones et asynchrones peuvent être communiquées aux et depuis les nuds des bras robotiques.L'invention concerne également divers aspects d'une couche physique qui peut être utilisée avec le réseau.
