摘要：
A surgical robotic drape for enveloping a portion of a surgical robot that comprises an instrument having at least one joint, and a robotic arm comprising a drive assembly configured to provide mechanical drive for selectively actuating the at least one joint, the instrument and drive assembly each having a plurality of interfaces for coupling mechanical drive from the drive assembly to the instrument, the drape comprising: a covering for enveloping the surgical robot drive assembly to define a sterile boundary thereover； and a plurality of interface elements each configured to engage with both a drive assembly interface and an instrument interface to couple the drive assembly to the instrument to thereby transfer mechanical drive provided by the drive assembly through the drape to selectively actuate the at least one joint of the instrument, the plurality of interface elements being attached to the covering in a spatial arrangement so that each of the plurality of interface elements is separated from each of the other plurality of interface elements by material of the covering.
