More Information
Summary:Systems and methods for responding to faults in a robotic system are provided herein. In some embodiments, the system includes an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end, a backend housing coupled to the proximal end of the elongate body, and a control system. The backend housing includes one or more actuators configured to manipulate the distal end of the elongate body. The control system is configured to control the robotic system by performing operations including: determining an operational state of the medical robotic system, detecting a fault in one or more components of the medical robotic system, classifying the fault according to one or more heuristics, and imposing a fault reaction state on the medical robotic system based on the one or more heuristics to mitigate the fault.
