    Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device and methods for using such a control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a control body including a surface. A force sensor is coupled to the control body, the force sensor configured to sense forces applied to the surface of the control body and provide sensor signals in accordance with amounts of the forces received on sides of the control body caused by a pinching of the control body between fingers of a user. At least one sensor is configured to detect at least one of a position and an orientation of the control body in a working environment of the control body.

    Abstract: A system includes a manipulator arm and a cannula mount arm. The manipulator arm includes a link and a locking assembly coupled to the link. The cannula mount arm includes a latch. The cannula mount arm is configured to be extended from the link to an extended position. The locking assembly is configured to engage with the latch when the cannula mount arm is extended from the link to the extended position so as to lock the cannula mount arm in the extended position. Activation of an electrical component coupled to the locking assembly is inhibited when a cannula is docked to the cannula mount arm.

    Abstract: A teleoperable medical system comprises a manipulator arm and a cannula mount coupled to the manipulator arm. The manipulator arm comprises an interface configured to operably couple with a medical instrument. The cannula mount is configured to removably mount a cannula to the manipulator arm in a position to permit removable insertion of the medical instrument through the cannula. The cannula mount comprises a receptacle configured to receive an attachment portion of the cannula in a mounted state of the cannula, and a reader positioned to be in magnetic field sensing proximity to the attachment portion of the cannula in the mounted state of the cannula. The teleoperable medical system comprises a controller configured to receive output signals from the reader and determine identification information about the cannula based on the output signals.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to a master control device. In some implementations, a master control device includes a thumb grip member including a thumb grip receptive to a thumb of a hand of a user. The master control device includes a finger grip member coupled to the thumb grip member at a proximal end of the master control device and extending toward a distal end of the master control device, where the finger grip member includes a finger grip receptive to multiple fingers of the hand. The thumb grip member and finger grip member are movable in a pinching configuration with respect to each other. The master control device includes a sensor coupled to at least one of the thumb grip member or finger grip member to sense relative positions of the thumb grip member and finger grip member with respect to each other in the pinching configuration.
