1. A surgical platform and trolley assembly and an interface of a robotic system, comprising:
the surgical platform and trolley assembly comprising:
a trolley portion being moveable on an operating-room floor, and including a lifting/adjustment portion and a carriage portion,
the lifting/adjustment portion having a height that can be expanded and contracted to correspondingly raise and lower the carriage portion, and
the carriage portion including a first portion of a connector attached thereto or received therein, and being moveable upwardly via expansion of the lifting/adjustment portion and downwardly via contraction of the lifting/adjustment portion, and
a surgical platform portion including a first end, an opposite second end, a first end portion at the first end, a second end portion at the second end, at least one of a first rail and a second rail extending between the first end portion and the second end portion, patient supports supported by the at least one of a first rail and a second rail, and a second portion of the connector attached to or received in a portion of the surgical platform portion, the surgical platform portion being supportable at and adjacent the second end thereof by the lifting/adjustment portion, and connectable relative to the carriage portion via engagement of the first and second portions of the connector, the first end portion including a primary aperture and at least one secondary aperture provided to receive portions of the interface of the robotic system; and
the interface of the robotic system comprising a tongue portion and at least one catch portion, the tongue portion being receivable in the primary aperture, and the at least one catch portion being receivable in the at least one secondary aperture to interconnect the surgical platform portion relative to the robotic system; and
wherein, when the surgical platform portion is interconnected relative to the robotic system, the surgical platform portion can be disconnected from the carriage portion via disengagement of the first and second portions of the connector, and the trolley portion can be removed from adjacent the robotic system.
