Abstract
The primary interface system may include a primary display and a primary input device. The system may also include a secondary interface system. The secondary interface system may include a secondary display and a secondary input device. The system may also include a control system in communication with the primary interface system and the secondary interface system. The control system may include a processing unit including one or more processors. The processing unit may be configured to receive a plurality of teleoperational kinematic constraints for the primary input device and generate a plurality of simulated kinematic constraints, mimicking the teleoperational kinematic constraints, for the secondary input device. The processing system may also be configured to receive guidance information from the secondary input device and provide haptic guidance through the primary input device based on the guidance information.
