Abstract

A surgical robotic tool used with a surgical robotic system can include cables that effect movement in the surgical robotic tool. A brake in any of these cables can be detected by checking a plurality of conditions. A process can compare a) a tension error against a first threshold, b) a rate of change of the sensed tension of the cable against a second threshold, and c) a rate of change of a cable extension error against a third threshold. If all thresholds are exceeded, the process can disable the respective actuator.
