Robotic systems with vibration compensation, and related methods

A robotic system comprising:

• an articulated arm comprising a plurality of arm segments defining longitudinal axes, and adjustable joints coupled between adjacent arm segments that are configured to adjust an orientation of the axes of the adjacent arm segments;
• and
• an end effector rotatably coupled to an end arm segment of the plurality of arm segments comprising a powered drive portion,
• wherein the end effector comprises a cutting tool attachment mechanism positioned at a longitudinal end of the end effector that is configured to couple with the cutting tool such that the cutting tool extends axially therefrom, and the powered drive portion translates the cutting tool along a cutting pathway along which the cutting tool is configured to effectuate cutting that is angled with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cutting tool, and
• wherein the end effector is oriented such that the longitudinal axis of the cutting tool is angled with respect to the axis of the end arm segment,
• wherein the end effector is coupled to the end arm segment via a manually operable connector assembly, the connector assembly comprising a flange assembly with a first connector removably coupling the end arm segment and a flange member of the flange assembly, and a second connector removably coupling the flange member and the end effector,
• wherein the connector assembly further comprises a flexible vibration dampening member positioned within mating components of at least one of the first connector and the second connector, and
• wherein the flexible vibration dampening member is positioned within a recess of the flange member and engages a portion of the first connector coupled to the end arm segment.
