  • Publication number: 20240342903
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for a robot system that manipulates the surface of an object effect programmed manipulation goals such as reaching specific locations on the surface of the object, displacing the surface of the object, applying a predetermined force and torque to the surface of the object, dynamically changing the contact point between the robot and the object, and applying force to structures below the surface of the object. The system and method determine the state of the object through a sensing method that includes, without limitation: torque and force measurement, visible light sensors, range and depth sensors, ultrasound sensors, thermographic sensors, and worktable force measurement.

  • Publication number: 20240341874
    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus are provided for a robotic system effecting autonomous therapy or treatment of a body having soft and/or hard tissue. A system, method, and apparatus are provided for a robotic control system having a fused sensing stream for predicting the deformation of a robotic end effector and the tissue that the end effector is in contact with using, e.g., a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) model. The model updates provide adjustment parameters for the control system to compensate for changes in the mechanical nature of the robotic end effector and the characteristics and/or movement of the tissue being treated by the robotic end effector.

  • Patent number: 12051317
    Abstract: A central control circuit is configured to remotely connect to a plurality of machines over a network. Each machine has a respective user interface to indicate a machine state and enable user input. The central control circuit is configured to receive an alarm code, determine whether the alarm code corresponds to a machine state for which a machine learning application has been trained, and obtain an image from the user interface in response to a determination that the machine learning application has been trained for the machine state. The central control circuit is further configured to analyze the image to identify one or more features, generate one or more commands in the machine learning application, and send the one or more commands to the user interface according to the features to change the machine state.
