Instrument level of use indicator for surgical robotic system

Abstract

A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm having an instrument and an instrument drive unit configured to couple to and to actuate the instrument. The system also includes a display configured to output a graphical user interface and a surgeon console including a handle controller configured to control the robotic arm and the instrument. The system further includes a processor configured to calculate a current level of use of the instrument based on movement of the handle controller and to output on the graphical user interface an indicator showing the current level of use of the instrument.
