Koninklijke Philips had four patents in robotics during Q4 2023. The system described in the patent abstract involves a robotic arm with an instrument interface, a force/torque sensor, a robot controller, and a system controller. The system controller receives force/torque data during a collaborative procedure, analyzes the data to determine the user’s intention or the procedure’s state, and adjusts the robot’s control mode accordingly.

Application: Automatic selection of collaborative robot control parameters based on tool and user interaction force (Patent ID: US20230339109A1)
The patent filed by Koninklijke Philips NV describes a system that includes a robotic arm with an instrument interface, a force/torque sensor, a robot controller, and a system controller. The system controller receives temporal force/torque data during a collaborative procedure with a user, analyzes this data to determine the user's intention or the state of the procedure, and then instructs the robot controller to control the robotic arm based on the determined intention or state. The system can adjust robot control parameters based on the user's actions, such as drilling or hammering with a tool, and can provide alerts to the user when control modes change.
The system's instrument interface can be a tool guide interfaced with a tool manipulated by the user during the procedure, with forces measured including those applied indirectly or directly to the tool guide, environmental forces, and forces generated by the tool. The system controller can utilize a neural network to determine user intentions or procedure states from the force/torque data. Additionally, the system can incorporate auxiliary data like video, image, or audio data to enhance the determination of user intentions or procedure states. The system aims to provide precise control of the robotic arm based on user actions and intentions, improving the collaborative experience between the user and the robotic system.
