摘要: A method (300) for determining a location of an object (101) relative to a component (102) is disclosed. The method (300) includes providing a frame (110). The method further includes coupling a plurality of encoders (120) to the frame (110). The plurality of encoders (120) is configured to generate a plurality of encoder signals (121). Each encoder signal (121) from the plurality of encoder signals (121) is representative of a location of the object (101) relative to the respective encoder (120). The method (300) further includes removably attaching the frame (110) to the component (102). The method (300) further includes receiving the plurality of encoder signals (121) from the plurality of encoders (120). The method (300) further includes determining a location of the object (101) relative to the component (102) based on the plurality of encoder signals (121).

摘要: A control system for a complaint robotic system comprising at least two compliant robots each compliant robot having their own actuator pack, the control system comprising: an individual local control system associated with each of the actuator pack, the local control system providing control signals to the actuator to cause movement within the associated compliant robots, an overall control system which controls the overall motion of robots when they are proximate within a workspace, the overall control signal providing signals to the actuators associated with the at least two compliant robots, so as to cause linked movement of the continuum arm robots, and wherein each individual control system is provided with a clock, and the clocks of each individual control system is synchronized with the other, and wherein the overall control system is provided with a redundancy control system that limits the motion of the compliant robots within certain degrees of freedom, so that the motion of the at least two complaint robots does not conflict when operating under the overall control system.
