A computer-assisted device includes a first articulated arm and a control unit coupled to the first articulated arm. The first articulated arm is configured to support an end effector. The control unit is configured to determine a virtual coordinate frame, the virtual coordinate frame being of an imaging device for capturing images of a workspace of the end effector, and the virtual coordinate frame being detached from an actual imaging coordinate frame of the imaging device; receive, from an input control configured to be manipulated by a user, a first instrument motion command to move the end effector; and drive the first articulated arm to move the end effector relative to the virtual coordinate frame based on the first instrument motion command.

A system and method for integrated surgical table icons includes a computer-assisted medical device. The computer-assisted medical device includes a control unit for controlling the computer-assisted medical device and a display unit coupled to the control unit having at least a surgical table status region. The control unit is configured to receive information from a surgical table describing an orientation of a top of the surgical table relative to a base of the surgical table, generate one or more icons graphically depicting the surgical table and the orientation, and send the one or more icons to the display unit for display within the surgical table status region. The surgical table is coupled to the computer-assisted medical device via a communications connection.

A system and method for an integrated surgical table includes a medical device including an articulated arm having one or more first and second joints and a control unit. The articulated arm has at least a cannula, an endoscope, or an instrument mounted distal to the first and second joints, which is inserted into a patient at a body opening. The control unit unlocks the first joints, receives a surgical table movement request, determines whether the surgical table movement request should be granted, allows the surgical table to perform the requested movement based on the determining, uses the first joints to allow the articulated arm to track movement of the body opening based on forces applied by a body wall at the body opening, and compensates for changes in a pose of the cannula, endoscope, or instrument due to the tracked movement by performing compensating motions in the second joints.

A computer-assisted medical device includes a first articulated arm, the first articulated arm having an end effector, a first joint set, a second joint set and a control unit. The control unit configures one or more joints in the first joint set to a floating mode, detects movement of the first joint set caused by a movement of the surgical table, drives the second joint set based on the movement of the surgical table, receives an instrument motion command to move the end effector while the surgical table is moving, and moves the end effector based on the instrument motion command. In some embodiments, the instrument motion command is relative to an imaging coordinate frame. In some embodiments, the imaging coordinate frame is based on a pose of an imaging device saved prior to the movement of the surgical table.
