Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods for controlling an instrument feeder device to engage with and/or control a medical instrument are discussed herein. For example, an instrument feeder device can be configured to couple to a drive output of a robotic arm and/or engage with an elongate shaft of a medical instrument. The drive output can be configured to control the engagement assembly to selectively engage with and/or retain the elongate shaft. A state of the engagement assembly can be determined based on an amount of force applied by the drive output, a position of the drive output, and/or other information.
