Patent attributes
A system may comprise a control device configured to receive user inputs and a manipulator system including an actuator configured to receive and drive a steerable device. The system may also comprise a control system communicatively coupled to the manipulator system. The control system may be configured to track a virtual user-instructed position based on a first user input, determine a device position of a portion of the steerable device, and determine a position discrepancy in a first direction between the determined device position and the virtual user-instructed position. The control system may also be configured to receive a second user input commanding motion of the steerable device in a second direction, opposite the first direction. In response to the second user input, the position discrepancy may be reduced based on an aspect of the second user input and a catch-up profile.
