Publication number: 20210213621Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to robotic drive control device. A robotic device may receive an indication associated with pressing an actuator on a handheld device, wherein the handheld device controls a movement of an end effector of the robotic device. The robotic device may record a home location associated with where the actuator was pressed in space. The robotic device may determine an orientation of the handheld device. The robotic device may detect a movement of the handheld device from the home location to a second location in space. The robotic device may cause the end effector of the robot to move in the same orientation as the handheld device from a stationary position that is associated with the home location while continuing to move the end effector even when the handheld device stops moving at the second location.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2021Publication date: July 15, 2021Applicant: SISU DEVICES LLCInventors: Jacob Robinson, Russell Aldridge, Joshua Foss, Marc Christenson

Patent number: 10569377Abstract: An apparatus, system, and a method for sharpening a cutting tool. The system sharpens cutting tools by manipulating the tool, measuring the three dimensional profile of the tool, and then grinding the tool. The apparatus consists of a robot capable of six degrees of motion, a gripping mechanism, a force-torque sensor capable of at least two directions of force and/or torque, a three dimensional scanning subsystem, a loading subsystem, a user interface, an initial orientation scan subsystem, a data processing and robot control subsystem, and at least one grinding system comprising two counter-rotating grinding wheels. The method automates the grinding process so that dull cutting tools can be placed into the loading system, sharpened by the system, and then ejected fully honed.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Omnisharp, LLCInventors: Jacob Robinson, Lynn Sarcione, Russell Aldridge, Marc Christenson, Mathius Jules, Joshua Bennett
