Patent ID: 7211978

Claim:
A system for jogging a plurality of robot arms comprising: a leader including a robot arm able to move within a leader active frame and supporting an end effector located at an outer end of the leader arm; a follower including a robot arm able to move within a follower active frame; first servo motors, each first servo motor articulating the arm of the leader about a respective one of the first axes; second servo motors each second servo motor, articulating the arm of the follower about a respective one of second axes; a user interface for allowing a user to jog the arm of the leader and the arm of the follower; and a controller operatively connected to the servo motors and the user interface for controlling operation of the servo motors, moving the arm of the leader with incremental displacement by jogging the leader arm and moving the arm of the follower with incremental displacement such that the follower arm tracks or mirrors movement of the leader arm, wherein the movements of the leader aim and the follower arm are simultaneous and synchronous.
