Original Abstract Submitted
A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm having an instrument and an instrument drive unit configured to couple to and to actuate the instrument. The system also includes a surgeon console having a handle controller configured to control the robotic arm and the instrument. The system further includes a processor configured to monitor a parameter of the instrument and select a power mode from a plurality of power modes for the instrument drive unit based on the parameter. The plurality of power modes includes a full power mode during which the instrument drive unit is fully powered and a low power mode during which the instrument drive unit is partially powered. The processor is further configured to set the instrument drive unit to the selected power mode.
