  • Patent number: 11925424
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic adjustments based on load inputs for robotic systems are provided. In one aspect, a robotic system includes a first robotic arm having at least one joint, a set of one or more processors, and at least one computer-readable memory in communication with the set of one or more processors and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions. The computer executable instructions cause the one or more processors to determine a first external load threshold for the at least one joint based on a maximum safe load capability of the first robotic arm, and adjust the first external load threshold during a medical procedure.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20240058970
    Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting contact between a link and an external object are provided. In one aspect, there is provided a robotic system, including a manipulatable link, a rigid shell configured to overlay the manipulatable link, and one or more sensors positioned between the rigid shell and the manipulatable link. The one or more sensors are configured to detect contact between the rigid shell and an external object.

  • Publication number: 20230202053
    Abstract: Robotic medical systems capable of manual manipulation are described. A robotic medical system can include a robotic arm and a sensor architecture. The sensor architecture can include one or more non-joint based sensors that are positioned to detect a first force exerted on the robotic arm. The robotic medical system can be configured to determine whether sensor data received from the sensor architecture meets first criteria. For example, the first criteria can be met in accordance with a determination that the first force exceeds a first threshold force. The robotic medical system can be configured to, in accordance with a determination that the first criteria are met, transition the robotic arm from a position control mode to a manual manipulation mode.

  • Publication number: 20220409313
    Abstract: Robotic medical systems can enable manipulation of a single robotic arm and have other robotic arms follow its motion. A robotic medical system can include a first robotic arm for holding a first medical tool and a second robotic arm for holding a second medical tool separated from the first medical tool. The robotic medical system can be configured to obtain data corresponding to movement of the first robotic arm and cause movement of the second robotic arm according to the movement of the first robotic arm.
