    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling articulation of a system are described. In some embodiments, a parameter related to a curvature of one or more portions of an articulable portion of elongated body may be determined. The elongated body may include a channel through which a tool may be inserted. Articulation of the articulable portion of the elongated body may be controlled based at least in part on the determined parameter in some modes of operation including when a tool is moved relative to the channel of the elongated body.
