Abstract

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.
