Abstract: A system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the system to receive spatial information for of a medical environment; determine a component for use in the medical environment; receive an indicator for a mode of operation of the component; receive a set of operation constraints for the component for the mode of operation; and generate an environment preparation plan based on the set of operation constraints and the spatial information.

Abstract: A medical system includes a medical instrument and first and second manipulators. The medical instrument includes a tendon that extends from an interface at a proximal portion of the medical instrument to an actuated element at a distal portion of the medical instrument. The first manipulator is configured to actively engage the tendon at a first location on the tendon to provide a preload tension. The second manipulator is configured to actively engage the tendon at a second location on the tendon to actuate the actuated element. One of the first manipulator or the second manipulator is configured to pull the tendon along a longitudinal axis of the tendon and the other of the first manipulator or the second manipulator is configured to deflect the tendon laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A cannula is provided that includes a head portion that defines a proximal opening sized to receive one or more surgical instruments; an elongated inner tube rigidly fastened to the head portion defines an elongated conduit; a surgical instrument can be inserted within the conduit; an elongated overtube rigidly fastened to the head portion is coaxially aligned with the inner tube and extends about a portion of the inner tube; an inner wall of the overtube is spaced apart from an outer wall of the inner tube; sensors are disposed on the overtube to provide an indication of forces applied to the outer wall of the overtube in a direction generally transverse to the longitudinal dimension of the overtube.

Abstract: A teleoperational system receives a movement command in response to movement of an input device, in response to determining an instrument is being controlled based on the movement of the input device, maps the movement command to a first movement of the instrument in an instrument frame using a first mapping, and in response to determining a tissue probe is being controlled based on the movement of the input device, maps the movement command to a second movement of the tissue probe in a tissue probe frame using a second mapping. The first mapping maps motion in an input direction in the input frame to an instrument direction in the instrument frame. The second mapping maps motion in the input direction to a tissue probe direction in the tissue probe frame. The instrument direction corresponding with the input direction. The tissue probe direction not corresponding with the input direction.

Abstract: A connector system is provided to connect a carriage that includes a rotatable drive member to a surgical instrument that includes a driven member, comprising a mechanical interface that includes a drive transmission member configured to receive a rotational drive force provided by the drive member at the internal surface region and to provide a corresponding rotational drive force to the driven member at the external surface region; and a support to mount an end portion of an optical fiber to the mechanical interface with a center axis of the first end portion aligned with an axis of rotation of the drive transmission member.
