A system and a method for carrying out a teleoperative process, wherein an image recording device and a tool are used. The tool may be guided by a first manipulator, and a currently captured region of the image recording device is determined. Monitoring the position of the tool relative to the currently captured region of the image recording device makes it possible to prevent the tool from unintentionally leaving the captured region. The axes of the manipulator are provided with sensors for detecting the forces and/or torques acting on the axes.
