  • Publication number: 20240108358
    Abstract: A system is provided comprising a robotic instrument for use with a tool. In some versions, the robotic instrument comprises a hand-held portion to be held by a user and a tool support movably coupled to the hand-held portion to support the tool. The robotic instrument further includes an actuator assembly operatively attached to the tool support and the hand-held portion and configured to move the tool support relative to the hand-held portion in a plurality of degrees of freedom. The robotic instrument may includes a handle alignment member extending from the hand-held portion. At least a portion of the handle alignment member and a tool plane defined by the tool are aligned when the tool support has an optimal range of motion relative to the hand-held portion.

  • Patent number: 9691116
    Abstract: Systems and methods using intelligent barcodes for processing mail, packages, or other items in transport are provided. Systems and methods allowing end-to-end visibility of a mail stream by uniquely identifying and tracking mail pieces are also provided. Systems and methods include the use of standardized intelligent barcodes on mail pieces, a seamless process for mail acceptance, continuous mail piece tracking, and feedback on mail quality in real time. In one embodiment, systems and methods using intelligent barcodes allow a mailing service to provide enhanced acceptance, sorting, tracking, address correction, forwarding, and delivery services. In another embodiment, systems and methods using intelligent barcodes allow a mailing service to identify a mail piece as undeliverable-as-addressed (UAA) and determine a final disposition for the mail piece.
