1. A computer-implemented method for edge computing, the method comprising:
establishing at least one communication channel between a surgical robot and a surgical equipment database storing at least one operational parameter for at least one surgical tool;
performing, by the surgical robot, at least a portion of a surgical procedure using the at least one surgical tool;
determining that the at least one operational parameter of the at least one surgical tool meets a threshold for the at least one surgical tool; and
in response to determining that the at least one operational parameter meets the threshold:
determining an action for the at least one surgical tool, and
sending a signal to the at least one surgical tool and/or the surgical robot to perform the action.
