Abstract
A system comprises a sensing means for sensing an arrangement of a manipulator assembly. The system further comprises a control means for: determining a motion limit of the manipulator assembly based on the sensed arrangement; and selecting a threshold limit from a plurality of pre-stored threshold limits based on which procedure type is to be performed with the manipulator assembly. The selected threshold limit is associated with a procedure type and defines a limit of a range to be potentially travelled by the manipulator assembly to perform a procedure. The control means are further for: comparing the motion limit to the selected threshold limit to determine whether the selected threshold limit is outside a range of motion bounded by the motion limit; and providing a notification indicative of whether the selected threshold limit is outside the range of motion bounded by the motion limit.
