1. A method of testing a smart implant before using the smart implant during a surgical procedure in a patient using a robotic surgical device, the method comprising:
establishing, by a computing system, a connection between a smart implant and the computing system;
transmitting, by the computing system, instructions to the robotic surgical device that, when executed, cause the robotic surgical device to move the smart implant through a set of physical movements;
receiving, by the computing system, movement data from the smart implant while the robotic surgical device moves the smart implant through the set of physical movements;
determining, by the computing system and based at least in part on the movement data, that the smart implant satisfies one or more pre-surgical operation criteria;
returning, by the computing system, pre-surgical operation information indicating that the smart implant is ready for use during the surgical procedure; and
transmitting, by the computing system to the robotic surgical device, instructions that, when executed, cause the robotic surgical device to perform the surgical procedure based at least in part on the returned pre-surgical operation information.
