Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A medical robotic system has a joint coupled to medical device or a slave manipulator or robotic arm adapted to hold and/or move the medical device for performing a medical procedure, and a control system for controlling movement of the joint according to user manipulation of a master manipulator. The control system includes at least one joint controller having a sliding mode control for reducing stick-slip behavior on its controlled joint during fine motions of the joint. The sliding mode control computes a distance to a sliding surface, computes a reaching law gain, and processes the distance and reaching law gain to generate a sliding mode control action that is in absolute value less that a maximum desired feedback control action. The sliding mode control action is then further processed to generate a feedback torque command for the joint motor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method implemented in a joint controller that uses sliding mode control for controlling movement of a joint in a medical system in response to user manipulation of a master input device, the method comprising: computing a distance to a sliding mode surface using the following equation: σ=λ·( QC−QL )+( VC−VL ) 2 , wherein σ represents the distance, λ is a parameter value, (QC−QL) is a position error, and (VC−VL) is a velocity error, which are associated with…
