    摘要: Engaging and/or homing is provided for a motor control of a surgical tool in a surgical robotic system. Where two or more motors are to control the same motion, the motors may be used to detect engagement even where no physical stop is provided. The motors operate in opposition to each other or in a way that does not attempt the same motion, resulting in one of the motors acting as a stop for the other motor in engagement. A change in motor operation then indicates the engagement. The known angles of engaged motors and the transmission linking the motor drives to the surgical tool indicate the home or current position of the surgical tool.

    摘要: A robotic surgical system includes at least one robotic arm comprising at least one movable joint and an actuator configured to drive the at least one movable joint, and a controller configured to generate a first signal, the first signal comprising a first oscillating waveform having a first frequency and being modulated by a second oscillating waveform having a second frequency, wherein the second frequency is higher than the first frequency. The actuator is configured to drive the at least one movable joint based on the first signal to at least partially compensate for friction in the at least one movable joint.
