Abstract
A system may include a controller configured to determine a user interface status, wherein the user interface status includes user interaction of a user interface. The controller may also be configured to determine a drive mechanism location relative to a first limit and a second limit and select a clutching location based on the user interface status and drive mechanism location.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a drive mechanism comprising a gripper device configured to drive a medical instrument;
- a controller configured to:
- determine a user interface status;
- determine a drive mechanism location of the gripper device relative to a first limit and a second limit;
- select a clutching location of the gripper device based on the user interface status and the drive mechanism location;
- and
- transmit an alert to a user interface device based on the user interface status and the selected clutch location,
- wherein the user interface device is configured to provide an indication of the alert to a user, and wherein the alert comprises instructions that cause the user interface device to provide haptic feedback that is resistive.
