Abstract
A system includes an input control, an instrument, a memory storing instructions, and one or more processors coupled to the memory. A first axis of a first coordinate frame is defined along a length of the input control and is associated with an orientation of the input control. A second axis of a second coordinate frame is defined along a length of the instrument and is associated with an orientation of the instrument. When executing the instructions, the one or more processors perform steps including, while in a following state, receiving a first command corresponding to a rotation of the input control about the first axis, in response to the first command, generating a second command to rotate the instrument around the second axis without rotating the instrument around any axis orthogonal to the second axis, and controlling movement of the instrument according to the second command.
