Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018125917A1] A robotic system is described for determining whether a flexible instrument has buckled. The robotic system comprises a medical instrument comprising an elongate body with a sensor thereon and a controller. The controller compares a measured status, derived from sensor data generated by the sensor, and an expected status, based on a command to direct the elongate body. Responsive to the comparison being more or less than threshold, the system determines that the elongate body has buckled. A robotic system is also described for determining an insertion force threshold to avoid applying excessive force. A controller is receives instrument data based on a location of the flexible instrument, accesses patient data, determines a force threshold, receives a force detected by a sensor, compares the force with the force threshold, and when the force exceeds the threshold, generates a recommendation signal for the robotic system.
