1. A foot pedal assembly for controlling a robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a foot pedal assembly base comprising an axle;
a foot pedal slidably and pivotally coupled to the axle; and
a sensor arrangement configured to detect an axial position of the foot pedal along the axle and a pivoted position of the foot pedal around the axle,wherein different combinations of different detected axial positions and detected pivoted positions are correlateable to different functions of the robotic surgical system.

18. A method for controlling a robotic surgical system, the method comprising:
-
detecting a translated position of a foot pedal along a horizontal axle coupled to a foot pedal assembly base, wherein the foot pedal and the foot pedal assembly base are in a self-contained foot pedal assembly; detecting a pivoted position of the foot pedal relative to the foot pedal assembly base; and controlling the robotic surgical system in response to a combination of the detected translated position and the detected pivoted position of the foot pedal. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
