Abstract:
Telerobotic, telesurgical, and surgical robotic devices, systems, and methods selectively calibrate end effector jaws by bringing the jaw elements into engagement with each other. Commanded torque signals may bring the end effector elements into engagement while monitoring the resulting position of a drive system, optionally using a second derivative of the torque/position relationship so as to identify an end effector engagement position. Calibration can allow the end effector engagement position to correspond to a nominal closed position of an input handle by compensating for wear on the end effector, the end effector drive system, then manipulator, the manipulator drive system, the manipulator/end effector interfacing, and manufacturing tolerances.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n mounting an end effector having a tool identifier to a robotic manipulator, the end effector movable relative to the manipulator in a plurality of degrees of freedom; transmitting a signal from the robotic manipulator to a processor in response to the end effector being mounted on the manipulator; calibrating the end effector in response to the processor receiving the signal indicating mounting of the end effector onto the robotic manipulator; storing a result of the calibrating in a grip calibration table in said memory, said result being identified in said memory by the tool identifier; and in response to the mounted end effector being removed from the manipulator and subsequently re-mounted on the manipulator, using the stored result corresponding to the tool identifier from the grip calibration table when moving the end effector relative to the manipulator in the plurality of degrees of freedom.
