Abstract

A system and method of disengagement in a computer assisted medical device includes an articulated arm having one or more first joints and a control unit coupled to the articulated arm and having one or more processors. The control unit operates each of the first joints in a plurality of states. The plurality of states include: a locked state in which movement of the respective first joint is restricted; and a floating state in which movement of the respective first joint is permitted. The control unit further switches one or more second joints selected from the first joints from a locked state to a floating state when the actuation on a second joint selected from the first joints exceeds one or more unlocking thresholds, and when the second The control unit further switches the second joint from the floating state to the locked state when the speed of each of the joints is below one or more locking thresholds.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This disclosure claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 954,120, filed March 17, 2014, entitled "System and Method for Breakaway Clutches in Articulating Arms," ​​which is incorporated by reference in its entirety Incorporated into this article. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to the operation of devices with articulated arms, and more particularly to breakaway clutching of articulated arms. Background technique [0004] More and more devices are being replaced by autonomous and semi-autonomous electronics. This is especially true in today's hospitals where large arrays of autonomous and semi-autonomous electronic devices are found in operating rooms, interventional rooms, intensive care units, emergency rooms, and the like. For example, glass and mercury thermometers are being replaced by electronic thermometers, IV drip lines now include electronic monitors and flow regulators, an...
