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: Integrated table motion includes a computer-assisted device. The computer-assisted device includes articulating means; means for receiving, via a means for communicatively coupling the computer-assisted device with a table means, a table movement request from a table command means, the table means being separate from the computer-assisted device; means for determining whether the table movement request should be allowed; and means for allowing the table means to perform the table movement request based on determining that the table movement request should be allowed.

Abstract: A system and method of assisting tool exchange includes a computer-assisted device having a manipulator configured to have at least one tool of multiple tools mounted thereon and a control unit coupled to the manipulator. The control unit is configured to detect initiation of a tool exchange, locate a source of a replacement tool to be mounted to the manipulator, determine, based on the located source, a configuration of the manipulator that facilitates mounting of the replacement tool to the manipulator, and command movement of the manipulator into the configuration. In some embodiments, the control unit is configured to determine the configuration further based on a type of the source of the replacement tool. In some embodiments, to locate the source of the replacement tool, the control unit is configured to locate at least a part of an assistant or locate a tool holding device.

Abstract: A system and method of breakaway clutching in a device includes an arm having a first joint and a control unit coupled to the arm. The control unit includes one or more processors. The control unit switches the first joint from a first state of the first joint to a second state of the first joint in response to an external stimulus applied to the arm exceeding a first threshold. Movement of the first joint is more restricted in the first state than in the second state. The control unit further switches the first joint from the second state to the first state in response to a speed associated with the first joint falling below a speed threshold. The first threshold is based on at least one first property of the arm. The speed threshold is based on at least one second property of the arm.

Abstract: Disturbance compensation in computer-assisted devices include a first articulated arm configured to support an imaging device a second articulated arm configured to support an end effector, and a control unit coupled to the first articulated arm and the second articulated arm. The control unit is configured to set a first reference frame, where the first reference frame is based on a first position of the imaging device at a first time. The control unit is further configured to detect a first disturbance to the first articulated arm moving the imaging device away from the first position, receive a command to move the end effector, and transform the command to move the end effector from a command in the first reference frame to a command in a reference frame for the end effector.

Abstract: Techniques for monitoring control points of a computer-assisted device include a first articulated arm associated with a first control point and a control unit coupled to the first articulated arm. The control unit is configured to determine a first expected path representative of expected positions of the first control point over time when a movement of the first control point is caused by a movement of a table that moves the first articulated arm, the table being separate from the computer-assisted device; determine a first actual path representative of actual positions of the first control point over time when the movement of the first control point is caused by the movement of the table; determine whether to perform a first remedial action based on the first actual path and the first expected path; and in response to a determination to perform the first remedial action, perform the first remedial action.
