    Abstract: A system comprises a teleoperational assembly including an operator control system and manipulators configured for teleoperation by the operator control system. A first manipulator controls a first medical instrument in a surgical environment and a second manipulator controls an imaging instrument. The system also comprises a processing unit to display an image of a field of view of the surgical environment captured by the imaging instrument and determine a position of a distal portion of the first medical instrument in an image coordinate space. The processing unit determines an initial position for a first badge associated with the distal portion of the first medical instrument and determine a badge placement boundary for the image of the field of view. The processing unit also adjusts the first badge from the initial position to a display position within the badge placement boundary of the image of the field of view.

    Abstract: Robotic and/or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to control movement of passive or under-actuated joints by coordinated joint braking of the under-actuated joints concurrent with driving of one or more driven joints. In one aspect, the methods include driving a set-up structure by pivoting an orienting platform supporting multiple manipulators back-and-forth in opposite directions while selectively braking the under-actuated joints to inhibit passive joint movement away from a reference joint state and releasing braking to facilitate movement of the joints toward the reference until each of the under-actuated joints of the multiple manipulators are at the respective reference states. In another aspect, a joint brake controller is provided that receives a motor torque input and converts the input to a brake control input by determining an impulse applied variable braking to deplete the impulse over time.

    Abstract: A teleoperational assembly is disclosed which includes an operator control system and a plurality of manipulators configured to control the movement of medical instruments in a surgical environment. The manipulators are teleoperationally controlled by the operator control system. The system further includes a processing unit configured to display an image of a field of view of the surgical environment, project the position of distal end portions of the medical instruments into the image's coordinate space, determine initial positions for badges associated with the distal end portions of each medical instrument, evaluate a display factor for each badge based on its initial position, and determine a final display position for each badge in the image's coordinate space based on the display factor.
