International Classification

B25J 18/02, B25J 5/00, B25J 9/00

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for a robotic manipulator arm deployment and control system. The system comprises at least a vertical mast, a mast deployment system comprising at least two cams, an elbow, an arm wherein the arm is operable to deploy tools, and one or more sensors including a non-contact sensor and a dynamic measurement unit. The cams cause the vertical mast and the arm to remain vertical during deployment into an operating space. The non-contact sensor may be used for measuring range and bearing to objects in the operating space in polar coordinates. The dynamic measurement unit comprises accelerometers and rate sensors and is configured as a six degree of freedom three axis sensor operating in a Cartesian coordinate system. The system further comprises a controller operable to receive the polar and Cartesian coordinates from the sensors and convert them to a Cartesian coordinate system.
