    Abstract: A computer-assisted surgical system includes a function selection system configured to detect an actuation and a de-actuation of a user input mechanism associated with a user control mechanism for controlling a surgical instrument coupled to a manipulator arm of a computer-assisted surgical system, the user input mechanism configured to facilitate activation and deactivation of a clutch mode of operation in which the user control mechanism is decoupled from controlling the surgical instrument. Based on the detecting of the actuation and the de-actuation of the user input mechanism, the function selection system determines information associated with the user input mechanism and the user control mechanism, compares the information to a set of defined criteria, and performs, when the information satisfies the set of defined criteria, a function associated with a different mode of operation of the computer assisted surgical system.

    Abstract: A system comprises a teleoperational assembly including an operator control system and a plurality of manipulators. A first manipulator is configured to control a medical instrument in a surgical environment. A second manipulator is configured to control an imaging instrument. The system further comprises a processing unit configured to: display an image of a field of view of the surgical environment captured by the imaging instrument; determine a position of a distal portion of the medical instrument in an image coordinate space; determine an initial position for a badge associated with the distal portion; determine a badge placement boundary, which is inside the image, for the image by determining a viewable space boundary for the image; and adjust the badge from the initial position to a display position within the badge placement boundary by determining an inset boundary between the badge placement boundary and the viewable space boundary.

    Abstract: A surgical instrument is configured to be installed for use on a teleoperated surgical system. A surgeon or other medical person controls the surgical instrument by manipulating one or more control inputs. Computer-assisted teleoperated actuators of the teleoperated surgical system move one or more surgical instrument mechanical degrees of freedom in response to movements of the one or more control inputs. A teleoperated surgical system is provided to enable a surgeon or medical person to manually control one or more surgical instrument mechanical degrees of freedom, while the surgical instrument is installed for use on the teleoperated surgical system.

    Abstract: A system and method of registering a surgical table and a computer-assisted device includes an articulated arm and a control unit coupled to the articulated arm. The articulated arm has a distally mounted instrument configured to be inserted into a patient at a body opening. The control unit is configured to detect a first motion of a surgical table coupled to the control unit via a communications connection. The first motion of the surgical table causes a corresponding second motion of a control point of the articulated arm. The control unit is further configured to determine a first angular direction of the first motion in a surgical table coordinate frame, determine a second angular direction of the second motion in a computer-assisted medical device coordinate frame, and determine a third angular relationship between the surgical table and the computer-assisted medical device based on the first and second angular directions.

    Abstract: A teleoperational system comprises a teleoperational control system and a teleoperational manipulator configured for operating an instrument in an environment. The teleoperational system also comprises an operator controller in communication with the teleoperational control system. The teleoperational control system includes a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit is configured to determine whether an operator of the operator controller has a head portion directed toward a display region of a display device and based on a determination that the operator's head portion is directed toward the display region, initiate an operator following mode in which movement of the operator controller provides a corresponding movement to the teleoperational manipulator. The teleoperational system may be a teleoperational medical system.
