Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for a surgical tool or a surgical robotic system. One example method includes providing a redundant degree of freedom (DoF) for an end effector joint of one DoF by driving the joint with two actuators, calculating a position displacement of the joint to effect a desired end effector movement in response to an input command, calculating a first movement of the two actuators based on the position displacement of the joint and a second movement of the two actuators based on a second control objective in a null space corresponding to the redundant DoF, and driving the joint according to the first movement and the second movement to effect the desired end effector movement while accomplishing the second control objective in the null space.
