Claim 0:
1. A method of operating a robotic surgical system, the method comprising:
detecting a plurality of movements of an input handle of the robotic surgical system;
determining a location of an imaging device, which is supported by a second linkage of the robotic surgical system, relative to a workspace, which relative location defines a field of view, wherein the field of view represents a movement range of a surgical tool of the robotic surgical system;
varying a scaling factor for the movement range of the surgical tool within the field of view based on the location of the imaging device, wherein the scaling factor is one of linearly varied or exponentially varied based on the location and a limit of movement of the input handle; and
scaling a detected movement of the input handle based on the scaling factor.
