Abstract:
A system comprises a teleoperated manipulator, a manually operated surgical instrument coupled to the teleoperated manipulator, a teleoperated surgical instrument coupled to the teleoperated manipulator, and a shape sensor comprising a first portion and a second portion. The first portion of the shape sensor is coupled to a proximal end of a cannula, and the second portion of the shape sensor is coupled to the manually operated surgical instrument. The shape sensor is configured to provide a sensor input to a controller, and the sensor input comprises information representing an insertion depth of the manually operated surgical instrument into the cannula.
