Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 13:
14. Ateleoperated surgical system comprising:
a robotic surgical instrument manipulator configured to selectably mount at least one of multiple robotic surgical instruments;
an image capture device orientable toward a surgical site for capturing images of anatomical tissue and of the at least one robotic surgical instrument;
a user display coupled to the image capture device so as to show to a user, the captured images of the anatomical tissue and of the at least one robotic surgical instrument;
a control input coupled to receive user input commands in the form of physical movement of the control input and to produce a control signal; and
a movement controller, operable to receive information indicating surgical skill level at using the robotic surgical instrument of the user providing the received user input commands, coupled to receive the control signal and configured to control one or more motors to translate the physical movement of the control to corresponding movement of the at least one robotic surgical instrument in response to the control signal and to scale a rate of movement of the at least one robotic surgical instrument relative to movement of the control input, based at least in part upon the surgical skill level at using the first robotic surgical instrument of the user providing the received user input commands.
