Application: Systems and methods for controlling a robotic manipulator or associated tool (Patent ID: US20240173856A1)

The patent filed by Intuitive Surgical Inc. describes a robotic system that includes a robotic manipulator with joints and links, along with a processing unit that receives sensor data to estimate joint velocities and determine vibration cancellation states based on specific conditions. When a vibration cancellation state is enabled, a cancellation force is applied to the joint. The system can control multiple joints based on their vibration cancellation states, enabling precise and stable robotic movements.

Furthermore, the method outlined in the patent involves receiving sensor data, estimating joint velocities, and determining vibration cancellation states based on predefined conditions for each joint. When the cancellation state is met, a cancellation force is applied to the joint. The system can also control the tool associated with the robotic manipulator based on control point velocity estimates and mathematically singular configurations, ensuring accurate and controlled movements. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing the stability and precision of robotic systems through vibration cancellation techniques and specific control mechanisms for different joints.
