Abstract

An admittance mode control system for a robotic arm includes an admittance switch adapted to be mounted to the robotic arm. A rotary contact connects a control circuitry to the admittance switch. The control circuitry is adapted to be mounted to the robotic arm, rotational degree(s) of freedom being present between the control circuitry and the admittance switch, the control circuitry interpreting signals to filter circuit misconduct from admittance switch activation. The control circuitry is adapted to communicate a request for admittance to a robot driver for the robot driver to convert an operation of the robotic arm into admittance mode.
