ABSTRACT

A surgical system may include an elongated arm support and a robotic arm
supported on the elongated arm support. The robotic arm may translate along
the elongated arm support. A partially enclosed cavity may be defined in the
elongated arm support for receiving an electrical cable electrically coupled
to the robotic arm so that the first electrical cable is within the cavity and
includes a rolling loop that moves in conjunction with movement of the robotic
arm.
