Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a ground-based vehicle with a single- or multi-degree-of-freedom robotic manipulator (arm), which may be attached to the a ground-based vehicle or to a stationary platform, among other examples. In examples, the purpose of the vehicle and arm assembly is to interact with a natural or man-made feature in some way; examples are include, but are not limited to, collecting a natural sample or specimen; unloading or repositioning the vehicle (e.g., from a lander, righting the vehicle after tipping, or raising/lowering the vehicle relative to terrain or man-made structures, etc.), collecting man-made items from the ground; grasping and actuating a man-made interface (such as a handle, cable, connector, hatch, door, etc.); servicing the vehicle; or assembling or constructing a structure from natural or man-made components (rocks, soil, beams, blocks, etc.), among other examples.

A system for sensing, controlling, and/or maintaining the pose (e.g., a heading, attitude, and/or elevation) of a ground-based vehicle is disclosed, which allows precise control of the orientation of the vehicle wheels and/or body relative to a ground surface is disclosed. When actuated, the pitch, roll, height, and/or pivot of the wheel axles relative to one another are controlled to achieve a commanded vehicle pose, raise one or more wheels from the ground surface, and/or place the body of the vehicle in contact with the surface, among other examples.

A modular robotic surgical system comprising: a base; a plurality of tool-receivers arranged as separate units, each tool-receiver unit operable to move an elongate surgical tool received therein; a plurality of interface coupling pairs, each coupling pair comprising a first coupler as part of the base and a second coupler as part of each of the tool-receiver units; wherein each of the tool-receiver units is independently and interchangeably attachable to the base via the coupling pair.

An apparatus including a drive unit; and an arm assembly connected to the drive unit. The arm assembly includes an upper arm connected to a first drive shaft of the drive unit; a first set of forearms connected to a first end of the upper arm; a second set of forearms connected to a second end of the upper arm, where the second set has a different number of forearms than the first set; and a respective end effector connected to the forearms.

The invention relates to a positioning module (1) with a base (2) and a positioning element (3) that is movable relative to the base (2), wherein the positioning element (3) is coupled to the base (2) via a leg element (4) of constant length, and the leg element (4) is connected to the positioning element (3) via a joint device (5), and the leg element (4) is assigned a drive module (6) arranged on the base with a drive unit (62), with a drive element (64) that is displaceable along a direction of movement by the drive unit (62), which is connected to the leg element (4) via a joint device (5), and with a force compensation device (7) connected to the drive element (64), wherein a defined force can be exerted on the drive element (64) along the direction of movement of the drive element (64) by means of the force compensation device (7).

A surgical implant planning computer for intra-operative CT workflow, pre-operative CT imaging workflow, and fluoroscopic imaging workflow. A network interface is connectable to a CT image scanner and a robot surgical platform having a robot base coupled to a robot arm that is movable by motors. A CT image of a bone is received from the CT image scanner and displayed. A user's selection is received of a surgical screw from among a set of defined surgical screws. A graphical screw representing the selected surgical screw is displayed as an overlay on the CT image of the bone. Angular orientation and location of the displayed graphical screw relative to the bone in the CT image is controlled responsive to receipt of user inputs. An indication of the selected surgical screw and an angular orientation and a location of the displayed graphical screw are stored in a surgical plan data structure.

Disclosed is a drive system for a mobile robot. The drive system comprises: a structural frame; a driving module comprising: at least two driving wheels; and at least two driving motors, wherein each individual one of the at least two driving motors comprises first sensor(s) configured to sense an individual driving wheel rotation; and a steering module comprising one of: a motor, a clutch actuator, wherein the one of: the motor, the clutch actuator comprises second sensor(s) configured to sense an individual driving wheel rotation. When the drive system is in use, the steering module is disengaged from the driving module to drive the mobile robot in a steer driving mode, or the steering module is engaged with the driving module to drive the mobile robot in a differential driving mode.
