Publication number: 20240099797Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved methods and apparatus for coupling a probe to an instrument device manipulator (e.g., robotic arm). In some embodiments, a probe, which may be carried by a handpiece, is configured to couple to the end of a device manipulator of a robotic arm. A transmission can be provided that is configured to couple to the probe and also couple to the instrument device manipulator. The transmission can be configured to receive motion input from the instrument device manipulator and transfer the motion input into motion of the probe. The transmission can provide improved movement of the probe. By decreasing the number of components on the handpiece and probe, the handpiece and probe can be provided as a sterile, single use consumable device and the transmission can be reused.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Applicant: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Surag MANTRI, Kevin Patrick STAID, David Vincent ADAMS, Jason HEMPHILL, Jonathan Trung HOANG, Rishabh Mayur SIRDESAI

Publication number: 20220366284Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing data comprising a plurality of observations associated with respective ordered input values to train a Gaussian process (GP) to model the data. The method includes initialising an ordered plurality of inducing input locations, and initialising parameters of a multivariate Gaussian distribution over a set of inducing states, each inducing state having components corresponding to a Markovian GP and one or more derivatives of the Markovian GP at a respective one of the inducing inputs. The initialised parameters include a mean vector and a banded Cholesky factor of a precision matrix for the multivariate Gaussian distribution. The method further includes iteratively modifying the parameters of the multivariate Gaussian distribution, to increase or decrease an objective function corresponding to a variational lower bound of a marginal log-likelihood of the observations under the Markovian GP.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2019Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: SECONDMIND LIMITEDInventors: Vincent Adam, Stephanos Eleftheriadis, Nicholas Durrande, Artem Artemev, James Hensman, Lucas Bordeaux
