Abstract: A medical system may comprise a display system and a control system. The control system may include a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit may be configured to display, on the display system, an image of a field, generated by an imaging component, of view of a surgical environment. The processing unit may also be configured to generate a three-dimensional synthetic indicator for a position of an instrument outside of the field of view of the surgical environment and display the three-dimensional synthetic indicator with the image of the field of view of the surgical environment.

Abstract: Integrated table motion includes a computer-assisted device. The computer-assisted device includes an articulated arm and a control unit coupled to the articulated arm. To support integrated motion with a table physically separate from and communicatively coupled to the computer-assisted device via a communications connection, the control unit is configured to receive a table movement request from a table command unit of the table, determine whether the table movement request should be allowed, and allow the table to perform the table movement request based on determining that the table movement request should be allowed.

Abstract: A system comprises a first robotic arm adapted to support and move a tool and a second robotic arm adapted to support and move a camera. The system also comprises an input device, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to, in a first mode, command the first robotic arm to move the camera in response to a first input received from the input device to capture an image of the tool and present the image as a displayed image on the display. The processor is configured to, in a second mode, display a synthetic image of the first robotic arm in a boundary area around the captured image on the display, and in response to a second input, change a size of the boundary area relative a size of the displayed image.

Abstract: A system comprises a manipulator assembly, one or more sensing elements configured to sense an arrangement of the assembly, and a control system configured to: determine a motion limit of the manipulator assembly based on the sensed arrangement of the assembly by using a position of a joint of a plurality of joints or using a position of a link of a plurality of links; store a plurality of threshold limits, where each of the plurality of threshold limits is associated with a procedure type and defines a limit of a range to be potentially travelled by the manipulator assembly to perform a procedure of the associated procedure type; select a threshold limit of the plurality of threshold limits based on which procedure type is to be performed; and provide a notification indicative of whether the selected threshold limit is outside a range of motion bounded by the motion limit.

Abstract: A teleoperational medical system for performing a medical procedure in a surgical field includes a teleoperational assembly having a plurality of motorized surgical arms configured to assist in a surgical procedure. The motorized surgical arms have a motion limit defining a boundary beyond which the surgical arm cannot pass when the surgical arm is attached to a patient. The teleoperational medical system also includes a control system having a surgical threshold limit stored therein. The surgical threshold limit is an edge of a boundary to be potentially travelled by the surgical arm to suitably perform a surgical procedure. The control system is configured to compare the motion limit to the surgical threshold limit and notify an operator via an output device when the threshold limit is outside a range of motion bounded by the motion limit.

Abstract: A system and method of monitoring control points during reactive motion includes a computer-assisted device. The computer-assisted device includes the one or more articulated arms and a control unit coupled to the one or more articulated arms. The control unit is configured to perform operations comprising determining, before movement of a table separate from the computer-assisted device, a latched spatial configuration of a plurality of control points associated with the one or more articulated arms; determining one or more geometric attributes of the latched spatial configuration; determining an actual spatial configuration of the plurality of control points as the one or more articulated arms track the movement of the table; determining a difference between the one or more geometric attributes of the latched spatial configuration and corresponding one or more geometric attributes of the actual spatial configuration; and performing, based on the determined difference, a remedial action.

Abstract: A medical imaging system comprises a teleoperational assembly which includes a medical instrument including an instrument tip and an imaging instrument including an imaging instrument tip. The medical imaging system also comprises a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit may be configured to determine an instrument tip position for the instrument tip, determine an instrument tip position error relative to the imaging instrument, and determine at least one instrument tip bounding volume based on the determined instrument tip position, the determined instrument tip position error, and a ratio between an error radius of the instrument tip position error and a size of a display screen.
