Title: Configuring a surgical robotic system
Inventor: Andrew Murray Scholan
IPC: A61B34/30
Filed: 2020-03-31
Abstract: A control system and method to reconfigure a surgical robotic system by introducing a second robot arm whilst a first robot arm with a first surgical instrument is operating in a surgical mode inside a patient’s body. The control system is configured to (i) insert a second surgical instrument attached to the second robot arm into a port in the patient’s body; (ii) determine a fulcrum about which the second instrument pivots when the configuration of the second arm is altered whilst the second instrument is inside the port; and (iii) operate the second arm in a surgical mode in which the configuration of the second arm and second instrument is controlled by a remote surgeon console whilst maintaining an intersection between the second instrument and the determined fulcrum. The robot arms have position and force sensors and can be operated in an “instrument retract mode” in which the instrument is permitted to be moved along only its longitudinal axis.

Title: Under-driven prosthetic hand with self-adaptive grasping function
Inventor: CAIHUA XIONG
IPC: B25J15/08
Filed: 2020-08-26
Abstract: An underactuated prosthetic hand with a self-adaptive grabbing or gripping function comprises a proportional transmission mechanism by which all four fingers are simultaneously flexed or extended by a single motor. The proportional transmission mechanism comprises a cross-member or bridge structure that is coupled to each of the respective drive mechanisms of the fingers, e.g. pulley cables, and is urged in an axial direction by two lead screws 4‑16, 4‑25 that are differentially driven by the motor 4‑20 via respective torsional dampers 4‑18, 4‑22 on the screw shafts. Under resistance to gripping, the rotary dampers protect the motor from torque overload and allow the lead screws to advance at different speeds so that the cross-member may tilt to accommodate differing degrees of finger flexion. The proportional transmission cross-member or bridge is telescopically extensible, e.g. a scissoring parallel linkage, and is constrained at its ends to slide along axially aligned guide rails, preserving the lateral spacings between its couplings 4‑1, 4‑7, 4‑13, 4‑27 to the finger transmission pulleys 4‑21 despite rotation of the cross-member.

Title: Hybrid neural network and autoencoder
Inventor: Srinath Madasu
IPC: G06N3/08
Filed: 2019-12-16
Abstract: A physics-influenced deep neural network (PDNN) model, or a deep neural network incorporating a physics-based cost function, can be used to efficiently denoise sensor data. To generate the PDNN model, noisy sensor data is used as training data input to a deep neural network and training output is valuated with a cost function that incorporates a physics-based model. An autoencoder can be coupled to the PDNN model and trained with the reduced-noise sensor data which is output from the PDNN during training of the PDNN or with a separate set of sensor data. The autoencoder detects outliers based on the reconstructed reduced-noise sensor data which it generates. Denoising sensor data by leveraging an autoencoder which is influenced by the physics of the underlying domain based on the incorporation of the physics-based model in the PDNN facilitates accurate and efficient denoising of sensor data and detection of outliers.

Title: Method for manufacturing optical device, optical device, and manufacturing device for optical device
Inventor: Shigehiro Nagano
IPC: G02B6/13
Filed: 2019-05-24
Abstract: A method for manufacturing an optical device includes: a laser irradiation step of condensing pulsed first laser light and pulsed second laser light to the inside of a glass member including germanium and titanium to cause a photo-induced refractive index variation to occur in the glass member; and a condensing position movement step of moving condensing positions relatively to the glass member. Each of the first laser light and the second laser light has a repetition frequency of 10kHz or greater. In the laser irradiation step, the first laser light is condensed to a dot-shaped condensing region. The second laser light is condensed to an annular condensing region surrounding the condensing region of the first laser light. A central wavelength of the first laser light is greater than 400 nm and equal to or less than 700 nm, and a central wavelength of the second laser light is equal to or greater than 800 nm and equal to or less than 1100 nm. A continuous refractive index variation region is formed by alternately repeating the laser irradiation step and the condensing position movement step, or by performing the laser irradiation step and the condensing position movement step in parallel.

The valve heads may include a rod (2221 Fig. 6) which moves in and out of a chamber 221, and the frequency of movement indicates if a blockage has occurred and is detected by the blockage detectors. When the blockage is acknowledged, the blockage removal unit removes the blockage immediately without shutting down the machine, by introducing high-pressure air from the air compressor into the oil path to push the blockage away. The check valve ensures that lubricating oil does not flow back into the air compressor.

Title: A method of determining an arrangement for objects
Inventor: IVAN KAPELYUKH
IPC: B25J9/16
Filed: 2022-06-07
Abstract: A method of determining an arrangement for objects comprises obtaining first data 440 representing a first arrangement (210 figure 2) of first objects 204, 206, 208 in a scene 202; inputting the obtained first data 440 into a trained machine learning model 542 to determine a first cost value 544 for the first arrangement (210 figure 2). The first cost value 544 is indicative of an extent to which the first arrangement (210 figure 2) differs from an optimum arrangement of the first objects 204, 206, 208 according to a cost function (658 figure 6) that the machine learning model 544 has been trained to provide. The method comprises determining a second arrangement 710 for the first objects 204, 206, 208 based on the first cost value 544. A robot 760 may be used to rearrange the first objects 204, 206, 208 into the second arrangement 710. The optimum arrangement may be represented by a minimum (654 figure 6) of the cost function (658 figure 6) and may represent a tidy or correct arrangement of the objects. The method may be used by the robot 760 to tidy a room, set a table with crockery and cutlery, load a dishwasher or stack a fridge.
