A method for ergonomic control of a console for a robotic surgical system, the method comprising:

• moving a first switch to adjust a position of a moveable pedal assembly to a user's foot position, the moveable pedal assembly including a moveable pedal tray with a base having lower pedal assemblies and an upper tier having upper pedal assemblies elevated above the lower pedal assemblies;
• energizing a motor to apply a force to the moveable pedal tray in response to the movement of the first switch;
• and
• rolling a plurality of rollers rotatably coupled to the moveable pedal tray over the floor to move the moveable pedal tray within an opening of a base of the console in response to the force applied by the motor.

A control console to remotely control medical equipment, the control console comprising:

• a base having a pedal system with a pedal layout to avoid a misstep, the pedal system having a pedal tray including
• a pedal base with a first left pedal assembly and a first right pedal assembly;
• and
• a U-shaped upper tier having a second left pedal assembly and a second right pedal assembly respectively in vertical alignment with and elevated above the first left pedal assembly and the first right pedal assembly, a left vertical switch pedal assembly pivotally coupled to a left side, and a right vertical switch pedal assembly pivotally coupled to a right side, wherein the left vertical switch pedal assembly and the right vertical switch pedal assembly are in horizontal alignment with and elevated above the first left pedal assembly and the first right pedal assembly.
