Abstract
A surgical robotic system is provided including a suspension structure, a manipulator arm for holding a surgical instrument, one or more actuators to adjust a pose of the manipulator arm, and a control system configured to establish a master-slave coupling between a user input device as a master device and the manipulator arm as a slave device. The manipulator may be manually reconfigurable from a first configuration in which the manipulator arm assumes a first pose to a second configuration in which the manipulator arm assumes a second pose which is mirrored with respect to the first pose about a mirroring plane which runs through a tip of the surgical instrument. The control system may temporarily disable the master-slave coupling the enable said manual reconfiguration, and after the manual reconfiguration, resume the master-slave coupling from the second pose.
