Patent number: 11931901Abstract: Robotic systems can be capable of collision detection and avoidance. A robotic medical system can include a robotic arm, an input device configured to receive one or more user inputs for controlling the robotic arm, and a display configured to provide information related to the robotic medical system. The display can include a first icon that is representative of the robotic arm and includes at least a first state and a second state. The robotic medical system can be configured to control movement of the robotic arm based on the user inputs received at the input device in real time, determine a distance between the robotic arm and a component, and provide information to the user about potential, near, and/or actual collisions between the arm and the component.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Ryan J.

Patent number: 11676511Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein are directed to robotically controlling a medical device to utilize manual skills and techniques developed by surgeons. The system can include an emulator representing a medical device. The system can include at least one detector configured to track the emulator. The system can also include an imaging device configured to track the medical device. The system may be configured to move the medical device to reduce an alignment offset between the location of the emulator and the location of the medical device, to move the imaging device based on the translational movement of the emulator, and/or to move the medical device based on data indicative of an orientation of the emulator.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Michael Shyh-Yen Ho, David Stephen Mintz, Edward Joseph Menard, Mark A.

Publication number: 20230107870Abstract: A robotic system includes control circuitry configured to cause actuation of one or more actuators of each of a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm. The control circuitry is configured to determine a position of a first end effector of the first robotic arm and a position of a second end effector of the second robotic arm, the positions of the first end effector and the second end effector forming a virtual rail, receive manual positioning input for the first robotic arm based at least in part on sensor signals from one or more sensors of the first robotic arm, and in response to the manual positioning input, generate a first movement command to move the first robotic arm in accordance with the manual positioning input and generate a second movement command to move the second robotic arm in a manner as to maintain at least one of a position or orientation of the second end effector relative to a point on the virtual rail.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Enrique Romo, Frederic H. Moll, David S. Mintz, Mark Lown, Siddharth Oli, Allen Jiang

Patent number: 11534250Abstract: Systems and methods for moving or manipulating robotic arms are provided. A group of robotic arms are configured to form a virtual rail or line between the end effectors of the robotic arms. The robotic arms are responsive to outside force such as from a user. When a user moves a single one of the robotic arms, the other robotic arms will automatically move to maintain the virtual rail alignments. The virtual rail of the robotic arm end effectors may be translated in one or more of three dimensions. The virtual rail may be rotated about a point on the virtual rail line. The robotic arms can detect the nature of the contact from the user and move accordingly. Holding, shaking, tapping, pushing, pulling, and rotating different parts of the robotic arm elicits different movement responses from different parts of the robotic arm.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Enrique Romo, Frederic H. Moll, David S. Mintz, Mark Lown, Siddharth Oli, Allen Jiang

Publication number: 20210298850Abstract: Certain aspects relate to admittance control modes for a robotic surgery system. The admittance control modes can be based on detecting and/or measuring forces (rotational and/or nonrotational) on a robotic arm and moving the robotic arm in response to such interactions. The forces can include direct manual interaction with the robotic arm by a clinician. The movement of the robotic arm can be within a nullspace that maintains the positions of a medical instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Yanan Huang, Ying Mao, Nicholas J.
