Abstract
A robot system (50) includes a control system (101) having a control interface grip (102). The robot system includes a macro robotic arm (54) and a micro robotic arm (60). The robot system is arranged such that the macro robotic arm will respond, in a first control system state, to movement of the control interface grip. In particular, the macro robotic arm will move in a plurality of directions responsive to corresponding movement of the interface grip. The micro robotic arm will respond, in a second control system state, to movement of the control interface grip. In particular, the micro robotic arm will move in a plurality of directions responsive to corresponding movement of the interface grip.
Claims28
A method for controlling a robot system, comprising:
- controlling a movement of a macro robotic arm having a first set of articulating joints and a macro control unit in a first system state responsive to a user manipulation of a control interface grip in a plurality of directions;
- and
- controlling a movement of a micro robotic arm having a second set of articulating joints distinct from said first set, and a micro control unit distinct from said macro control unit, in a second system state responsive to a user manipulation of said control interface grip in said plurality of directions.
A robot system, comprising:
- a control system including a robot control interface having a control interface grip;
- a macro robotic arm having a first set of articulating joints responsive in a first control system state to movement of said control interface grip in a plurality of directions;
- and
- a micro robotic arm having a second set of articulating joints distinct from said first set, responsive in a second control system state to movement of said control interface grip in said plurality of directions.
