1. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
a robotic surgical system used by a surgeon, the robotic surgical system including:
a surgeon console coupled to a patient console with the patient console coupled to surgical instruments, a surgeon computer coupled to or at the surgeon console, the surgeon console coupled to one or more surgical instruments, and receive user inputs, display real-time surgical information, and transmit commands;
a surgical robot coupled to a robotic surgery control system;
one or more sensors configured to capture intraoperative physiological and positional data, including instrument trajectories, tissue interaction metrics, and anatomical landmarks;
an artificial intelligence (AI) engine configured to be selectively engaged or disengaged, the AI engine including one or more processors and one or more decision-support algorithms, the AI engine configured to receive intraoperative data and provide real-time, non-binding recommendations to the surgeon without executing autonomous control of the surgical instruments;
one or more cameras configured to provide real time images or streams of a surgical field; and
a feedback loop configured to monitor data from the sensors and cameras, transmit the data to the AI module engine, and provide output to the surgeon console as visual overlays, alerts, or annotations to assist with intraoperative decision-making;
the AI engine providing assistance to the surgeon for positioning surgical instruments during a surgical procedure.
