Classification: CPC A  B | IPC A  B

Claim 18:
19. A method for indicating collisions between a first robotic arm and a second component of a robotic medical system, the method comprising:
providing, on a display, an image of an anatomy of a patient and a medical tool attached to the first robotic arm;
providing, on the display, a first icon indicative of the first robotic arm and the medical tool, wherein the first icon comprises a text identifier of the first robotic arm and a text identification of the medical tool attached to the first robotic arm;
determining a distance between the first robotic arm and the second component;
updating a state of the first icon based on the determined distance to indicate whether the first robotic arm associated with the first icon is approaching a collision or is experiencing the collision, wherein the state of the first icon comprises one of:
a first state indicating that the distance exceeds a first proximity threshold distance and that the first robotic arm associated with the first icon is approaching the collision; and
a second state indicating that the distance is less than the first proximity threshold distance and that the first robotic arm associated with the first icon is experiencing the collision;

detecting that the first robotic arm is approaching a third component of the robotic medical system, wherein the image excludes an indication of the third component of the robotic medical system when the first robotic arm is detected to be approaching the third component; and
in response to detecting that the first robotic arm is approaching the third component of the robotic medical system, initiating display of a second icon on the display, wherein the second icon represents the third component of the robotic medical system.
