Abstract

See full text

Techniques for controlling a manipulator assembly include one or more actuators coupled to drive the manipulator assembly to move at least a portion of the manipulator assembly and a controller. The controller is configured to cause the one or more actuators to hold the portion at a first position in a sequence of predetermined positions; detect that the portion has been moved from the first position due to a disturbance; in response to the detection that the portion has been moved from the first position, cause the one or more actuators to move the portion toward a second position in the sequence of predetermined positions until a stop condition is detected, even if the disturbance ends before the portion reaches the second position; and cause the one or more actuators to hold the portion at the second position, when the portion has reached the second position.
