    Abstract: A robotic system includes a robotic arm that includes a first joint that connects a first segment to a second segment, the first segment being connected at an end of the first segment opposite the first joint to a shoulder joint of the robotic arm and the second segment being connected at an end of the second segment opposite the first joint to an elbow joint of the robotic arm; and a processor coupled to the robotic arm and configured to receive an end effector trajectory and determine a motion plan to move the end effector through the end effector trajectory, including by using the first joint to vary the distance between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint, as and if needed, to realize the end effector trajectory while using the joints and links other than the first joint in a preferred pose.

    Abstract: A robotic system, method, and device for controlling operation of a robot is disclosed. The robotic system includes (i) a robot configured to move one or more items within a workspace, (ii) a sensor configured to collect sensor data with respect to the workspace, and (iii) one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to (a) determine to reset operation of the robot, (b) determine, based at least in part on the sensor data, that a human worker exited a safeguarded space within the workspace, and (c) in response to determining that the human worker exited the safeguarded space, resume operation of the robot.

    Abstract: A robot having seven or more degrees of freedom is disclosed. In various embodiments, the robot includes a positioning robot having m degrees of freedom and a manipulator robot having n degrees of freedom coupled to the positioning robot. The robot is configured to be operated in a first mode of operation, in which the positioning robot is controlled to position move the manipulator robot into a position to perform a task and the manipulator robot is controlled independently of the positioning robot to perform the task; and in a second mode of operation, in which at least a subset of the m degrees of freedom of the positioning robot and at least a subset of the n degrees of freedom of the manipulator robot are controlled together, by a single controller, to perform the task.
