    Abstract: Techniques for rapid halt of repositionable arms include a computer-assisted device comprising a first repositionable arm configured to support a first end effector, a second repositionable arm configured to support a second end effector, and a control unit communicably coupled to the first repositionable arm and the second repositionable arm. The control unit is configured to monitor an actual motion of at least one structure selected from the group consisting of the first repositionable arm and the first end effector, determine a composite deviation between a plurality of kinematic or dynamic values of the actual motion and the plurality of kinematic or dynamic values of a desired motion of the at least one structure, determine whether the composite deviation is greater than a deviation threshold, and in response to the composite deviation being greater than the deviation threshold: halt motion of the first repositionable arm or the second repositionable arm.

    Abstract: A system and method of breakaway clutching in a device includes an arm including 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, wherein movement of the first joint is more restricted in the first state of the first joint than in the second state of the first joint, 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, and prevents the switching of the first joint from the first state to the second state when the arm is in a predetermined mode.

    Abstract: A system includes a manually movable input control configured to generate signals when a movement of one or more mechanical degrees of freedom of the input control is detected and a control module. The control module is configured to determine whether a movement of the input control is anticipated to cause an instrument to move outside of a safe range of movement of the instrument and command the system to switch from an operating mode to a safe mode in response to determining that the movement of the input control is anticipated to cause the instrument to move outside of the safe range of movement of the instrument. The instrument is separate from the input control. In the operating mode the instrument moves in response to movement of the input control. In the safe mode the instrument does not move in response to movement of the input control.

    Abstract: A computer-assisted device includes a first repositionable arm configured to support a first end effector, a second repositionable arm configured to support a second end effector, and a control unit. The control unit configured to monitor an actual motion of at least one structure selected from the group consisting of the first repositionable arm and the first end effector, determine a deviation threshold based on at least one parameter selected from the group consisting of a mode of operation of the first end effector and a mode of operation of the computer-assisted device, and in response to determining that the actual motion of the at least one structure deviates from a desired motion of the at least one structure by more than the deviation threshold, halt motion of the first repositionable arm and the first end effector or halt motion of the second repositionable arm and the second end effector.

    Abstract: A teleoperated surgical system includes a surgical instrument with an end effector and a master input device. A servomechanism may be operatively coupled to the end effector to apply a force to the end effector, and at least one processor may operatively couple the servomechanism to the master input device to apply a grip force with the first and second gripping elements in response to input at the master input device. The applied grip force may be based at least in part on a mechanical advantage of the surgical instrument end effector.

    Abstract: A system includes a manually manipulatable input control and a control module. The control module is configured to determine whether there is uncontrolled movement of the component based on whether a movement of the input control includes a change in a roll angle of the input control, the movement of the input control includes a change in a grip separation of the input control, or a first mechanical degree of freedom of the input control affected by gravity has moved while a second mechanical degree of freedom of the input control not affected by gravity has not moved. The control module is further configured to command the system to switch to a safe mode in response to determining that there is uncontrolled movement of the input control. The safe mode includes a mode in which an instrument does not move in response to movement of the input control.
