Abstract: A system comprises a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to receive an image of a medical environment and identify a medical component in the image of the medical environment. The medical component may be disposed in a first configuration. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor also cause the system to receive kinematic information about the medical component and generate virtual guidance based on the kinematic information. The virtual guidance may include a virtual image of the medical component disposed in a second configuration.

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 generate a procedure plan for performing a procedure with a robot-assisted manipulator. The procedure plan may be based on a first plurality of procedure inputs. The system may also generate a performance metric from the implementation of the procedure, evaluate the implemented procedure based on the performance metric to generate procedure evaluation information, and store the procedure evaluation information. The system may also generate a second procedure plan based on the stored procedure evaluation information and a second plurality of procedure inputs.

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 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.
