Abstract: Techniques for operating an instrument include a computer-assisted device having one or more processors, a motor or other active actuator, and an articulated arm configured to support the instrument having a cutting blade. The one or more processors are configured to control, using the motor or other active actuator, the instrument according to a force or torque limit profile. The force or torque limit profile includes a first force or torque limit used when extending the cutting blade from a first position to a second position, a second force or torque limit used when retracting the cutting blade from the second position to a third position between the first position and the second position and further retracting the cutting blade to the first position, and a third force or torque limit used while the cutting blade is in the first position.

Abstract: Techniques for reducing blade exposures include a computer-assisted device having one or more processors and a drive system comprising one or more drive units configured to be coupled to a cutting instrument. The one or more processors are configured to: measure, using one or more first sensors, a jaw angle between gripping jaws of the cutting instrument; measure, using one or more second sensors, a roll of a shaft of the cutting instrument; correct the jaw angle based on the roll of the shaft; determine a restriction on a cutting operation to be performed using the instrument based on the corrected jaw angle; and perform or prevent the cutting operation according to the restriction.

Abstract: Techniques for torque compensation include a system include actuating means coupled to a clamping means and processing means. The processing means is configured to acquire an initial torque limit for the clamping means; adjust the initial torque limit based on an angle of a wrist of the clamping means to obtain an adjusted torque limit; and drive, subject to the adjusted torque limit, the actuating means to cause the clamping means to clamp a material.

Abstract: In some embodiments, torque compensation in a clamping instrument includes control electronics obtaining an initial torque limit for the clamping instrument, adjusting the initial torque limit based on a temperature of a motor assembly used to operate the clamping instrument, and clamping the clamping instrument according to the adjusted torque limit. The adjusted torque limit corresponds to a maximum torque that may be applied by the clamping instrument to perform the clamping. In some embodiments, torque compensation in a stapling instrument includes control electronics obtaining an initial torque limit for the stapling instrument, adjusting the initial torque limit based on a number of times the stapling instrument has been fired, and firing the stapling instrument according to the adjusted torque limit. The adjusted torque limit corresponds to a maximum torque that may be applied by the stapling instrument to perform the firing.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for stapler reload detection and identification. A manipulator is configured to have an instrument mounted thereto. The instrument includes an end effector configured to receive a replaceable stapler cartridge. An actuator is drivingly coupled with the pusher member. A control unit is configured to control operation of the actuator to move the pusher member from a first position toward a second position; determine a distance that the pusher member moves from the first position toward the second position before a force limit for the actuator is exceeded; and determine, based on the distance that the pusher member moves, an operational status of the instrument relating to the replaceable stapler cartridge.

Abstract: A system and method of force or torque limit compensation includes a surgical instrument for use with a computer-assisted medical device. The surgical instrument includes an end effector located at a distal end of the instrument, a drive unit for operating a degree of freedom of the instrument, a shaft coupled to the drive unit, and one or more drive mechanisms in the shaft for coupling force or torque from the drive unit to the end effector and the articulated wrist. To control the degree of freedom, the instrument is configured to determine a current position of the degree of freedom, determine a force or torque limit compensation based on the current position, alter one or more force or torque limits based on the force or torque limit compensation, and adjust the degree of freedom subject to the one or more force or torque limits.

Abstract: A system and method of operating a minimally invasive cutting instrument includes a surgical cutting instrument. The surgical cutting instrument includes a drive unit, an end effector located at a distal end of the instrument, and a garage for housing the cutting blade when the cutting blade is not in use. The end effector includes gripping jaws and a cutting blade. To perform a cutting operation, the instrument extends the cutting blade from a first position to a second position, retracts the cutting blade from the second position to a third position between the first and second positions, and further retracts the cutting blade to the first position. While the cutting blade is not in use, the cutting blade is maintained in the first position using a restraining mechanism in the drive unit, force or torque applied by a motor or other active actuator to the drive unit, or both.

Abstract: Techniques for force and torque limit compensation include a computer-assisted device including a drive unit configured to operate a degree of freedom of an instrument supported by the computer-assisted device and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine an expected amount of restraining or return to home force or torque applied to the degree of freedom; determine a force or torque limit compensation based on the expected amount of restraining or return to home force or torque; alter one or more force or torque limits based on the force or torque limit compensation; and adjust, using the drive unit, the degree of freedom subject to the one or more altered force or torque limits.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for stapler reload detection and identification. A manipulator is configured to have an instrument mounted thereto. The instrument includes an end effector configured for mounting of a replaceable stapler cartridge and a pusher member configured to articulate a staple pushing shuttle of the stapler cartridge to deploy staples from the stapler cartridge. An actuation mechanism is drivingly coupled with the pusher member. A control unit is configured to control operation of the actuation mechanism to move the pusher member from a first position to a second position, wherein at the second position, the pusher member makes contact with a portion of the staple cartridge or a portion of the end effector; determine a distance of movement of the pusher member from the first position to the second position; and determine, based on the distance of movement, an operational status of the instrument relating to the stapler cartridge.
