A robotic system can incorporate one or more sensors along a robotic arm in order to permit self- or auto-alignment of the robotic arm with a cannula during a docking procedure. The sensor can detect and measure a force or moment resulting from contact between an instrument driver of the robotic arm and the cannula. In response thereto, the robotic system can translate and/or rotate components of the robotic arm in order to align the instrument driver with the cannula, thereby facilitating latching of the cannula to the instrument driver.

Self-aligned docking for a robotic surgical platform

Certain aspects relate to admittance control modes for a robotic surgery system. The admittance control modes can be based on detecting and/or measuring forces (rotational and/or nonrotational) on a robotic arm and moving the robotic arm in response to such interactions. The forces can include direct manual interaction with the robotic arm by a clinician. The movement of the robotic arm can be within a nullspace that maintains the positions of a medical instrument.
