Appl. No.:

16/607964

Inventors:

- Fremont CA, US
Feimo Shen - Fremont CA, US
Barry Voorhees - Fremont CA, US
Muhammad Afnan - Fremont CA, US

International Classification:

A61B 34/00
A61B 34/30
A61B 34/10
A61B 17/00

Abstract:

An apparatus for calibration of a robotic arm having an end effector of a robot includes a magnetic coupler having a body, a receiving face, a mounting member, and a magnetic portion. The mounting member is configured to fixedly connect to the end effector of the robotic arm. A mechanical digitizer probe having a ball and a handle are provided, where the ball is fixedly attached to a distal end of the handle and the ball is removably coupled to the magnetic coupler via the magnetic portion on the receiving face to form a rotatable ball and socket connection, and where a proximal end of the handle is adapted to be attached to a mechanical digitizer associated with the robot. A method for calibration of the robotic arm of a robot is also detailed.
