20210347036 | System And Method For Mounting A Robotic Arm In A Surgical Robotic System - Systems and methods for mounting a robotic arm for use in robotic-assisted surgery, including a mobile shuttle that includes a support member for mounting the robotic arm that extends at least partially over a gantry of an imaging device. Further embodiments include a mounting apparatus for mounting a robotic arm to a base or support column of an imaging device, to a patient table, to a floor or ceiling of a room, or to a cart that extends over the top surface of the patient table. | 2021-11-11 |
20210347037 | CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD - A control system includes: a search part that, among one or more moving systems, searches for the moving system that meets preset requirements; an instruction part that outputs to a moving mechanism included in the moving system being searched an instruction for moving a second machine to be controlled included in the moving system being searched by the search part to a position operable in linkage with a first machine to be controlled; and a provision part that provides to a storage part of a second control device included in the searched moving system a linking user program for controlling the second machine to be controlled to operate in linkage with the first machine to be controlled. This makes it possible to efficiently perform dynamic recombination of the machines to be controlled. | 2021-11-11 |
20210347038 | MECHANICAL ARM - A mechanical arm includes a first link connectable to a surface, a second link, a third link, a fourth link, and a fifth link that are coupled to one another in series, and an end effector connectable to the fifth link. The end effector is rotatable about an axis of rotation same as an axis of rotation of the fourth link, and rotatable about an axis of rotation orthogonal to the axis of rotation of the fourth link. The first link, the second link, the third link, the fourth link, and the fifth link are collectively structured and configured to rotate such that the end effector is actuatable to a workspace under the surface. | 2021-11-11 |
20210347039 | ROBOTIC MANIPULATOR HAVING A PLURALITY OF SPRING COMPENSATED JOINTS - A robotic manipulator comprises a plurality of spring compensated joints, each including a four-bar linkage mechanism, a gravity compensating spring, a spring adjustment mechanism, a spring adjustment actuator and an inertial actuator. The gravity compensating spring is coupled between two links of the four-bar linkage mechanism at two different spring attachment points to provide a lifting force opposing a gravitational load force. The spring adjustment mechanism is coupled to alter a position of one of the spring attachment points. The spring adjustment actuator is coupled to move the spring adjustment mechanism to alter the position of the spring attachment point and adjust the amount of lifting force provided by the spring. The inertial actuator is coupled between links of the four-bar linkage mechanism to effectuate rotational movement of the four-bar linkage mechanism and apply an adjustable amount of force to accelerate and manipulate a payload handled by the robotic manipulator. | 2021-11-11 |
