Abstract

Robotic medical systems capable of manual manipulation are described. A robotic medical system can include a robotic arm and a sensor architecture. The sensor architecture can include one or more non-joint based sensors that are positioned to detect a first force exerted on the robotic arm. The robotic medical system can be configured to determine whether sensor data received from the sensor architecture meets first criteria. For example, the first criteria can be met in accordance with a determination that the first force exceeds a first threshold force. The robotic medical system can be configured to, in accordance with a determination that the first criteria are met, transition the robotic arm from a position control mode to a manual manipulation mode.
