Abstract
Techniques for monitoring a computer-assisted device include a plurality of manipulators, each manipulator being configured to support an instrument, each manipulator having a control point; and a control unit. The control unit is configured to: determine a first spatial configuration of the plurality of control points, the first spatial configuration being prior to a movement of a table separate from the computer-assisted device, and the movement of the table causing motion of at least one control point; determine the movement of the table; determine, based on the movement of the table and the first spatial configuration, an expected spatial configuration of the plurality of control points; determine, based on a comparison of the expected spatial configuration with an actual spatial configuration of the plurality of control points, whether to perform a remedial action; and perform the remedial action in response to a determination to perform the remedial action.
