A method is provided for auto registration for a robotic endoscopic apparatus. The method comprises: (a) generate a first transformation between an orientation of the robotic endoscopic apparatus and an orientation of a location sensor based at least in part on a first set of sensor data collected using the location sensor; (b) generating a second transformation between a coordinate frame of the robotic endoscopic apparatus and a coordinate frame of a model representing an anatomical luminal network based at least in part on the first transformation and a second set of sensor data; and (c) updating, based at least in part on a third set of sensor data, the second transformation using an updating algorithm.

A method is provided for a robotic endoscope system. The method comprises: generating a 3D depth map of an environment surrounding the robotic endoscope system; autonomously actuating a self-propelled base of a robotic support system to a desired location relative to a patient bed based on the 3D depth map, wherein the robotic support system comprises a robotic arm coupled to the self-propelled base at a proximal end and coupled to a flexible endoscope apparatus via an instrument driving mechanism (IDM) at a distal end; and actuating the robotic arm to align the IDM to a component coupled to or part of the patient bed.
