Claim 0:
1. A medical system, comprising:
a tool recognition assembly;
a receiving member for receiving a tool; and
a control system in communication with the tool recognition assembly, wherein the control system comprises:
a processor; and
a memory comprising machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the control system to:
receive a first baseline sensor value from the tool recognition assembly subsequent to a set-up process of the tool recognition assembly and the receiving member;
determine a baseline adjustment threshold based on the first baseline sensor value;
receive first monitored sensor data from the tool recognition assembly as the tool is inserted into the receiving member;
compare the first monitored sensor data to the baseline adjustment threshold for a predetermined duration;
if the comparison satisfies a comparison criterion for the predetermined duration, establish a second baseline sensor value using the first monitored sensor data; and
determine if the tool is fully inserted within the receiving member using the second baseline sensor value.
