Abstract

Systems and methods of providing a haptic barrier for an instrument include a computer-assisted device. The computer-assisted device includes a grip input control, a repositionable arm configured to support an instrument, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to detect a position of the grip input control in a first direction of a degree of freedom having In a first region, a second region, and a third region between the first and second regions; in response to determining that the detected position is in the first region, operate the instrument according to a first mode; in response to determining that the detected position is in the third region, provide a haptic barrier to resist movement of the grip input control through the third region; and in response to determining that the detected position is in the second region, operate the instrument according to a second mode.
