1. A robotic system for manipulating an elongate body, the system comprising:
- an instrument driver operatively coupled to the elongate body; and
an operator workstation communicatively coupled to the instrument driver, wherein the operator workstation comprises a control device comprising;
a rotary member configured to receive a user input from an operator for controlling the elongate body,wherein the rotary member is movable in two dimensions, wherein motion in a first dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a first degree of freedom and motion in a second dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a second degree of freedom,wherein the control device comprises a velocity control mode in which the elongate body is configured to continuously move at a set velocity in the second degree of freedom based on a first signal from the rotary member indicative of user manipulation in a first direction of the second dimension, andwherein the control device further comprises a position control mode in which the elongate body is configured to move at an adjustable velocity in the second degree of freedom controlled by a second signal from the rotary member indicative of user manipulation in a second direction of the second dimension.

Abstract
A device may operate a guide wire and be operable by a single operator digit. The device may include an insertion control device for advancing the guide wire in a forward and in a reverse direction and along a longitudinal axis of the guide wire; and a rotary device for rolling a guide wire about the longitudinal axis. A robotic instrument driver may be operatively coupled to the device and configured to control axial movement of the guide wire along the longitudinal axis according to input received from the insertion control device and to control rotational movement of the guide wire according to input received from the rotary device.

16. A method for manipulating an elongate body, the method comprising:
-
providing a robotic system, the system comprising; an instrument driver operatively coupled to the elongate body; and an operator workstation communicatively coupled to the instrument driver, wherein the operator workstation comprises a control device comprising a rotary member movable in two dimensions; moving the rotary member of the control device in a first dimension of the two dimensions, wherein motion in the first dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a first degree of freedom and motion in a second dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a second degree of freedom, moving the rotary member of the control device in a velocity control mode to continuously move the elongate body at a set velocity in the second degree of freedom based on a first signal from the rotary member indicative of user manipulation in a first direction of the second dimension, and moving the rotary member of the control device in a position control mode to move the elongate body at an adjustable velocity in the second degree of freedom controlled by a second signal from the rotary member indicative of user manipulation in a second direction of the second dimension. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A robotic system for manipulating an elongate body, the system comprising:
-
an instrument driver operatively coupled to the elongate body; and an operator workstation communicatively coupled to the instrument driver, wherein the operator workstation comprises a control device comprising; a rotary member configured to receive a user input from an operator for controlling the elongate body, wherein the rotary member is movable in two dimensions, wherein motion in a first dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a first degree of freedom and motion in a second dimension of the two dimensions causes the instrument driver to direct movement of the elongate body in a second degree of freedom, wherein motion along the second dimension causes the instrument driver to at least one of advance or retract the elongate body along a longitudinal axis, wherein the control device comprises a relative position control mode and a velocity control mode for controlling movement of the elongate body in the second degree of freedom, wherein movement in the second degree of freedom comprises at least one of axial insertion and retraction of the elongate body, and wherein motion of the rotary member in the second dimension beyond a preset degree of rotation causes the control device to transition from the relative position control mode to the velocity control mode.
