1. A patient console for a robotic surgical system, comprising:
a base; and
a vertical lift attached to a top of the base and configured to provide up and down motion in a vertical axis;
a yaw rotation device attached to the top of the vertical lift and configured to provide a yaw rotation about the vertical axis;
a pitch rotation device attached to the top of the yaw rotation device and configured to provide a pitch rotation about a pitch axis orthogonal to the vertical axis;
a translation device attached to the top of the pitch rotation device and configured to provide sliding translation along a translation axis; and
a roll rotation device attached to the translation device to roll relative to the translation device about a roll axis to provide a roll to an instrument controller assembly, wherein an angle of the translation axis and the roll axis relative to horizontal is a function of the pitch rotation provided by the pitch rotation device, wherein a direction of the translation axis and the roll axis is a function of the yaw rotation provided by the yaw rotation device.
