Robotic medical systems may perform robotic movement that is saturated according to one or more constraints of the system. A robotic system can include a robotic arm configured to control a medical instrument. The robotic system can receive a first user input from a user for moving the robotic arm to control the medical instrument. The robotic system can guide the movement of the robotic arm along a collision boundary surrounding an object in accordance with the first user input and one or more secondary constraints.

Systems and methods for saturated robotic movement

Systems and methods for saturated robotic movement are provided. In one aspect, there is provided a robotic system, including a robotic arm configured to control movement of a medical instrument, and a processor configured to: receive a first user input from a user for moving the medical instrument with the robotic arm, determine that moving the robotic arm according to the first user input would cause a contact point of the robotic arm to contact or cross a collision boundary surrounding an object, and guide the movement of the robotic arm such that the contact point of the robotic arm continuously moves along the collision boundary based in part on the first user input, in response to the determination that moving the robotic arm according to the first user input would cause the contact point to contact or cross the collision boundary.
