    Abstract: A method of assigning an auxiliary input device to control a surgical instrument in a computer-assisted surgical system includes detecting a first surgical instrument coupled to a first manipulator interface assembly of a computer-assisted surgical system, the first manipulator interface assembly being controlled by a first input device. The method further includes detecting an initial relative position of the first input device and either assigning control of an auxiliary function of the first surgical instrument to a first auxiliary input device disposed in a left position relative to a second auxiliary input device if the initial relative position of the first input device is detected to be at a left position relative to a second input device or assigning may also include assigning control of an auxiliary function of the first surgical instrument to the second auxiliary input device disposed in a right position relative to the first auxiliary input device if the initial relative position the first input device is detected to be at a right position relative to the second input device.

    Abstract: Implementations relate to detection and mitigation of potential collisions with a user control system. In some implementations, a method includes detecting an object in a sensing field of a sensor of a user control system, and the user control system includes a control input device. The control input device is in a controlling mode in which manipulation of the control input device activates a function of a manipulator device. The method includes determining that the object is an unidentified object and determining a characteristic of the object including a location with respect to the user control system, a velocity, or a trajectory. The method determines whether the characteristic of the object satisfies a condition corresponding to the characteristic, and exits the controlling mode in response to determining that the object is an unidentified object and that the characteristic satisfies the corresponding condition.
