Abstract:
A system and method for integrated table motion includes a device. The device includes an articulated arm having joints and a distal portion distal to the joints and a control unit. To support integrated motion with a separate table, the control unit is configured to receive a table movement request from the table, determine whether allowing the table movement request would result in a first joint of the joints being at a range of motion limit, allow the table to perform the table movement request based on determining that allowing the table to perform the table movement request would not result in the first joint being at the range of motion limit, track movement of the table due to performing the table movement request, and maintain, using the joints and based on the tracked movement, a position and/or an orientation of the distal portion relative to the table.
