Claim 0:
1. Ateleoperated surgical system comprising:
a first robotic surgical instrument;
an image capture device orientable toward a surgical site for capturing images of anatomical tissue and of the first 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 first 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 indicting surgical skill level at using the first 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 input to corresponding movement of the first robotic surgical instrument in response to the control signal and to scale a rate of movement of the first robotic surgical instrument relative to a rate of 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.
