Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for an endoscope or other surgical instruments to automatically sense when it's placed inside or outside of a trocar or a cannula. Operational setting of the endoscope may be adjusted as a function of the detected environmental condition to improve the function of the endoscope and the safety of a surgical procedure. The endoscope may include a sensor to sense a tag embedded in a trocar or cannula. The endoscope may transmit sensing information to a controller of a surgical robotic system to indicate that the endoscope has been inserted into the trocar or cannula. The controller may generate configuration information corresponding to the sensed state. The controller may transmit the configuration information to the endoscope to configure the endoscope to operate in the state. In another aspect, the endoscope may wirelessly communicate with another surgical instrument to receive operational information from the surgical instrument.
