  • Patent number: 11859967
    Abstract: A tool recognition system may comprise a tool recognition assembly and a control system in communication with the tool recognition assembly. The control system may comprise a processor and a memory comprising machine-readable instructions. When executed by the processor, the instructions may cause the control system to receive a first baseline sensor value from the tool recognition assembly and determine a baseline adjustment threshold based on the first baseline sensor value. The instructions may also cause the control system to receive first monitored sensor data from the tool recognition assembly and compare the first monitored sensor data to the baseline adjustment threshold for a predetermined duration. If the comparison satisfies a comparison criterion, a second baseline sensor value may be established using the first monitored sensor data.
