By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-From Washington, D.C., NewsRx journali sts report that a patent application by the inventors EYRE, Nicholas J. (Redwood City, CA, US); HUANG, Yanan (Sunnyvale, CA, US); MAO, Ying (San Mateo, CA, US); MARKEE, Mason Myles (Pacifica, CA, US); SPIES, Alex C. (Redwood City, CA, US); WILSON, Colin Allen (Burlingame, CA, US); YANG, Bo (Mountain View, CA, US), file d on October 30, 2023, was made available online on February 22, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: "Robotically-enabled medical system may be capable of perfo rming a variety of medical procedures, including both minimally invasive, such a s laparoscopy, and non-invasive, such as endoscopy, procedures. Among endoscopic procedures, the system may be capable of performing bronchoscopy, ureteroscopy, gastroscopy, etc. "Such robotic medical systems may include robotic arms configured to control the movement of medical tool(s) during a given medical procedure. In order to achie ve a desired pose of a medical tool, a robotic arm may be placed into a pose tha t may cause the robotic arm to come into contact with another object in the envi ronment. Unintended contact or collisions with such external objects can adverse ly impact the robotic medical system and/or the external object, and thus it is desirable to detect such collisions." As a supplement to the background information on this patent application, NewsRx correspondents also obtained the inventors' summary information for this patent application: "The systems, methods and devices of this disclosure each have sev eral innovative aspects, no single one of which is solely responsible for the de sirable attributes disclosed herein.
