Claim 0:
1. A method of determining a location of a user input device of a surgical robotic system within a surgical workspace using a virtual workspace, the method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors communicatively coupled to the user input device, that a user is engaging with the user input device within a surgical workspace;
in response to determining the user is engaging with the user input device,
displaying a virtual user input device within a first virtual workspace boundary, the first virtual workspace boundary representing a first workspace limit within which the user input device is operable to control a surgical robotic instrument in a teleoperation mode, wherein at least a portion of the first virtual workspace boundary is operable to move in response to a movement of the user input device;
displaying a second virtual workspace boundary that represents a second workspace limit beyond which the user input device is inoperable to control the surgical robotic instrument in the teleoperation mode; and
determining, by the one or more processors, a location of the user input device within the surgical workspace based on a proximity of the portion of the first virtual workspace boundary relative to the second virtual workspace boundary.
