Abstract
A system may include a controller configured to determine a user interface status, wherein the user interface status includes user interaction of a user interface. The controller may also be configured to determine a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit and select a clutching location based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- determine a user interface status, the user interface status including user interaction of a user interface;
- determine a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit, wherein the drive mechanism location comprises a location of a gripper device between the first limit and the second limit;
- and
- select a clutching location based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining a user interface status, the user interface status including a user interaction of a user interface;
- determining a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit along a slave device, wherein the drive mechanism location comprises a location of a gripper device between the first limit and the second limit;
- and
- determining whether to clutch the slave device based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
1 more element
A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying computer-executable instructions, the instructions comprising instructions for:
- determining a user interface status, the user interface status including a user interaction of a user interface;
- determining a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit along a slave device, wherein the drive mechanism location comprises a location of a gripper device between the first limit and the second limit;
- and
- determining whether to clutch the slave device based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
