Abstract:
A teleoperative system includes an input device and a controller. The controller is configured to receive input associated with movement of the input device, determine a commanded pose of an instrument coupled to the teleoperative system based on the received input, determine a first preferred pose of the instrument based on at least one parameter selected from a group consisting of: a type of the instrument and an operating mode of the instrument, determine a first feedback force command based on a difference between the commanded pose and the first preferred pose, and actuate the input device based on the first feedback force command.
