TELEOPERATIVE-COOPERATIVE ROBOTIC SYSTEM

A combined teleoperative-cooperative controllable robotic system includes a robotic actuator assembly, a control system adapted to communicate with the robotic actuator assembly, and a teleoperation unit adapted to communicate with the control system. The control system is configured to control at least a first portion of the robotic actuator assembly in response to at least one of a force or a torque applied to at least a second portion of the robotic actuator assembly by a first user for cooperative control. The control system is further configured to control at least a third portion of the robotic actuator assembly in response to input by a second user from the teleoperation unit for teleoperative control.
