  • Publication number: 20250205900
    Abstract: Setting and using a software remote center of motion (RCM) for a computer-assisted system including an input control, a repositionable structure comprising a plurality of joints, and a processing system. The processing system is configured to: receive a proposed position for a software RCM of the repositionable structure; determine whether to accept the proposed position based on a geometric relationship between a position of a hardware RCM and the proposed position; in response to determining to accept the proposed position, set a current position of the software RCM based on the proposed position; after setting the current position and in response to an indication to move the repositionable structure with a desired motion, determine a commanded motion of the joints to move the repositionable structure in accordance with the desired motion while maintaining the current position of the software RCM; and drive the joints in accordance with the commanded motion.
