Abstract
Systems and methods for verification and calibration of robotic instruments are provided. A robotic system may include an instrument carriage to receive an elongate device, and the instrument carriage may comprise a set of drive sensors. The system may also include a tracking system configured to receive an indication that the elongate device is installed on the instrument carriage, operate a set of actuators to articulate a distal portion of the elongate device, and generate a set of drive sensor data from the set of drive sensors. The tracking system may also be configured to generate a set of articulation sensor data from a shape sensor of the elongate device, compare the set of drive sensor data to the set of articulation sensor data to generate a test profile, and determine whether the test profile corresponds to a reference profile. Corrective action may be determined.
