Abstract: A tele-operated system includes a platform, a manipulator supported by the platform, a support structure supporting the platform, and a processor. In a platform movement mode the processor is configured to sense a manual movement of a link of the manipulator relative to the platform that moves the link from a first to a second positional relationship relative to the platform wherein a difference between the first and second positional relationships includes a displacement having components in first, second, and third directions that are perpendicular to one another, calculate, in response to the sensed manual movement, a command for the support structure that causes the link to move in the first direction so as to reduce the displacement in the first direction and does not change the displacement in the second direction, and transmit the command to the support structure so as to move the platform and the manipulator.

Abstract: A teleoperational medical system for performing a medical procedure in a surgical field includes a teleoperational assembly having a plurality of motorized surgical arms configured to assist in a surgical procedure. It also includes an input device configured to receive an input to move all the arms of the plurality of motorized surgical arms to a pre-established position. A processing system is configured to receive the input form the input device and output control signals to each arm of the plurality of motorized surgical arms to move each arm to the pre-established position.

Abstract: A system and method of collision avoidance includes determining first positions of first joints of a first repositionable arm and second positions of second joints of a second repositionable arm. Distal ends of the first and second repositionable arms are configured to support first and second instruments, respectively. The system and method further include determining first and second virtual boundaries around the first and second repositionable arms, determining an overlap between the first and second virtual boundaries, determining an overlap force on the first repositionable arm due to the overlap, mapping the overlap force to virtual torques on the first joints proximal to the overlap, determining a tip force on a distal end of the first instrument, and applying the tip force as feedback on the first instrument.

Abstract: A system and method of registering a surgical table and a computer-assisted device includes an articulated arm and a control unit coupled to the articulated arm. The articulated arm has a distally mounted instrument configured to be inserted into a patient at a body opening. The control unit is configured to detect a first motion of a surgical table coupled to the control unit via a communications connection. The first motion of the surgical table causes a corresponding second motion of a control point of the articulated arm. The control unit is further configured to determine a first angular direction of the first motion in a surgical table coordinate frame, determine a second angular direction of the second motion in a computer-assisted medical device coordinate frame, and determine a third angular relationship between the surgical table and the computer-assisted medical device based on the first and second angular directions.

Abstract: A computer-assisted medical device including a first joint set on an articulated arm, a second joint set on the articulated arm, and a control unit coupled to the first joint set and second joint set. The control unit determines a disturbance to the first joint set caused by a release of one or more brakes and compensates for the disturbance using the second joint set to reduce motion to a position of a point of interest. In some embodiments, the control unit compensates for the disturbance by determining an initial position for the point of interest with respect to a reference point, determining a predicted motion for the point of interest based on the disturbance to the first joint set, and sending a drive command to the second joint set to move the point of interest in a direction opposite to the predicted motion.

Abstract: A compensated constant force spring device includes a bracket, a drum rotatably supported by the bracket, and a constant force spring wound on the drum. A motor is fixed to the bracket and provides a compensating force to the drum. The motor may be located in an interior volume of the drum. A control module may coupled to the motor to control the compensating force. A position sensor may be coupled to the control module. The compensating force may be responsive to a signal from the position sensor. The constant force spring may support a load and counterbalance gravitational forces on the load. The compensating force may be adjusted when the load approaches an end of a range of travel.

Abstract: Robotic and/or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to control movement of passive or under-actuated joints by coordinated joint braking of the under-actuated joints concurrent with driving of one or more driven joints. In one aspect, the methods include driving a set-up structure by pivoting an orienting platform supporting multiple manipulators back-and-forth in opposite directions while selectively braking the under-actuated joints to inhibit passive joint movement away from a reference joint state and releasing braking to facilitate movement of the joints toward the reference until each of the under-actuated joints of the multiple manipulators are at the respective reference states. In another aspect, a joint brake controller is provided that receives a motor torque input and converts the input to a brake control input by determining an impulse applied variable braking to deplete the impulse over time.

Abstract: Robotic and/or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to facilitate preparation of the system for use. In some embodiments, actively driven joints will move a platform structure that supports multiple manipulators in response to movement of one of the manipulators, facilitating and expediting the arrangement of the overall system by moving those multiple manipulators as a unit into alignment with the workspace. Systems and methods are also provided to keep one, some, or all joints of the kinematic chain off a hardstop or physical range of motion limit associated with the joint or to otherwise maintain a desired range of motion for one, some, or all joints of the kinematic chain when exiting a set-up mode.

Abstract: A patient side cart for a teleoperated surgical system includes at least one manipulator portion for holding a surgical instrument and a steering interface. The steering interface may include at least one sensor positioned to sense turning, fore, and aft forces exerted by a user to move the cart. The steering interface may further include a coupling mechanism to removably couple the steering interface with the patient side cart. The at least one sensor may be placed in signal communication with a drive control system of the patient side cart when the steering interface is in a coupled state with the patient side cart.
