    Abstract: Systems and methods of assisting operator engagement with input devices include an input device configured to be operated by a hand of an operator, a repositionable structure coupled to the input device, a hand detection system, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to detect a position and an orientation of the hand using the hand detection system, determine, based on the position of the hand, a target position for the input device, wherein moving the input device from a current position of the input device to the target position moves the input device closer to a grasping position for the hand, and in response to determining that an orientation difference between the orientation of the hand and a current orientation of the input device is not greater than a threshold orientation difference, cause one or more actuators to move the input device toward the target position.

    Abstract: A system and method of assisting operator engagement with input devices includes a repositionable structure configured to support a physical input device, a hand detection system, and a control unit. The repositionable structure includes one or more actuators. The physical input device is configured to be operated by a hand of an operator. The control unit is configured to detect the hand of the operator using the hand detection system and in response to a trigger condition, command the one or more actuators to move the input device from a first orientation to a second orientation, wherein the second orientation is closer to a grasping orientation of the hand than the first orientation is to the grasping orientation of the hand.

    Abstract: A robotic system comprises a display that is viewable by an operator. An operator reference frame is defined relative to the display or the operator viewing the display. The robotic system also includes an input device movable by the operator and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to present, in the display, a first image of a first tool captured by an imaging device, receive, from the operator, a first indication that a first axis of the input device is aligned with a corresponding axis of the first tool in the first image, and in response to the first indication, determine a first alignment relationship between the imaging device and the first tool based on a second alignment relationship between the operator reference frame and the input device.
