Abstract
A method of monitoring a medical instrument during a medical procedure includes: receiving state information from a control system in communication with the medical instrument; detecting, by the control system, motion of at least a portion of the medical instrument; comparing the detected motion of the at least the portion of the medical instrument with a threshold motion value based on the state information received from the control system; determining, based on the detected motion exceeding the threshold motion value, significant movement of a patient has occurred; providing a system response based on determining significant movement of the patient has occurred; comparing the detected motion with a threshold control value, wherein the threshold control value is higher than the threshold motion value; and disregarding, when the detected motion is higher than the threshold control value, motion commands received from a master assembly.
