A workstation configured for operating a robotic catheter system is provided. The workstation includes a user interface configured to receive a user input and a control system operatively coupled to the user interface for remotely and independently controlling movement of at least a first percutaneous device and a second percutaneous device. At least the first percutaneous device is moveable both for advancement and retraction along a longitudinal axis of the first percutaneous device and for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the first percutaneous device. The workstation also includes a device movement algorithm subsystem including at least one set of instructions. The control system controls the first percutaneous device based upon both the user input and the at least one set of instructions of the device movement algorithm subsystem.
