SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DRIVING MEDICAL INSTRUMENT
First Claim
1. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
- a medical instrument comprising an outer body and an inner body configured to be driven through a lumen in the outer body;
a set of one or more instrument manipulators configured to control movement of the outer and inner bodies;
a set of one or more user input devices;
a set of one or more processors; and
at least one computer-readable memory in communication with the set of processors and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the set of processors to;
receive, via the set of user input devices, a change drive mode command; and
in response to receiving the change drive mode command, change a drive mode of the medical instrument from a paired drive mode to an unpaired drive mode, wherein a distance between a distal end of the inner body and a distal end of the outer body is maintained at a predetermined distance in response to receiving a drive command from the set of input devices while in the paired drive mode.

Abstract
Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for driving a medical instrument having an inner body and an outer body. In one aspect, a system includes a medical instrument comprising an outer body and an inner body configured to be driven through a lumen in the outer body. The system may further include a set of one or more instrument manipulators configured to control movement of the outer and inner bodies and a set of one or more processors configured to: receive a change drive mode command, and in response to receiving the change drive mode command, change a drive mode of the medical instrument from a paired drive mode to an unpaired drive mode.

13. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
-
a medical instrument comprising an outer body and an inner body configured to be driven through a lumen in the outer body; a set of one or more instrument manipulators configured to control movement of the outer and inner bodies; a set of one or more user input devices; a set of one or more processors; and at least one computer-readable memory in communication with the set of processors and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the set of processors to; receive, via the set of user input devices, an articulation command to articulate the medical instrument; treat one of the outer and inner bodies as a primary body and the other one of the outer and inner bodies as a secondary body; determine the distance between a distal end of the inner body and a distal end of the outer body; determine a co-articulation factor based on the determined distance; articulate, via the set of instrument manipulators, the primary body based on the articulation command; and articulate, via the set of instrument manipulators, the secondary body based on the articulation command and the co-articulation factor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A robotic surgical system, comprising:
-
a medical instrument comprising an outer body and an inner body configured to be driven through a lumen in the outer body; a set of one or more instrument manipulators configured to control movement of the outer and inner bodies; a set of one or more feedback devices; a set of one or more processors; at least one computer-readable memory in communication with the set of processors and having stored thereon a model of a mapped portion of the luminal network, a position of a target with respect to the model, and a path along the model from an access point to the target, the memory further storing computer-executable instructions to cause the set of processor to; identify a portion of the luminal network along the path having a shape matching a park assistance signature; and cause, on at least a portion of the set of feedback devices, a parking indication at a position corresponding to the identified portion with respect to the model, the parking indication representing a place to park the distal end of the outer body. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
