Robotic manipulation control that locks motion relative to a sensed object region now becomes free to commercialize.
The controller uses region sensing on an object and constrains the robot’s motion to maintain a locked relationship to that selected region while sensing continues. This reduces operator control complexity by turning unconstrained 6-DOF manipulation into region-relative constrained motion rather than freehand teleoperation. Previously, teams typically needed a license from Intuitive Surgical to use this specific region-locked manipulation control scheme in commercial surgical robotics or training systems.
Build image-guided surgical training rigs or semi-autonomous robotic tools that lock instrument motion to tracked tissue regions without royalties.
