US Patent 11672618 System and method for integrated surgical table motion

A computer-assisted device includes a first articulated arm and a control unit coupled to the first articulated arm. The first articulated arm is configured to support an end effector. The control unit is configured to determine a virtual coordinate frame, the virtual coordinate frame being of an imaging device for capturing images of a workspace of the end effector, and the virtual coordinate frame being detached from an actual imaging coordinate frame of the imaging device; receive, from an input control configured to be manipulated by a user, a first instrument motion command to move the end effector; and drive the first articulated arm to move the end effector relative to the virtual coordinate frame based on the first instrument motion command.
