1. A method comprising:
- generating a command to move a surgical robotic manipulator to a predetermined safety configuration;
locking the robotic manipulator in the safety configuration in response to receiving the command;
detecting if a mock instrument has been mounted on the robotic manipulator when the robotic manipulator is in the safety configuration; and
if the mock instrument is detected, then generating an override command to unlock the robotic manipulator from the safety configuration.

Abstract
A method comprises generating a command to move a surgical robotic manipulator to a predetermined safety configuration and locking the robotic manipulator in the safety configuration in response to receiving the command. The method further comprises detecting if a mock instrument has been mounted on the robotic manipulator when the robotic manipulator is in the safety configuration. If the mock instrument is detected, an override command is generated to unlock the robotic manipulator from the safety configuration.
