Abstract
A robotic system is disclosed which includes a robotic arm having n degrees of freedom, the robotic arm comprising a base and a set of serially connected links and joints connected to the base; an enabler joint assembly comprising a mounting location at which the base of the robotic arm is mounted and having a rotational axis, offset from the mounting location, about which the enabler joint assembly is configured to rotate the mounting location; and a processor configured to control a first set of motors associated with the n degrees of freedom of the robotic arm and an enabler joint motor comprising the enabler joint assembly to control operation of the robotic arm within an extended operating space defined at least in part by the n degrees of freedom of the robotic arm and an (n+1)degree of freedom provided by the enabler joint assembly.
