摘要：
A system for controlling a surgical robot via a remote surgeon console. The system is configured to receive one or more state signals associated with a plurality of robot attachable instruments 350. The state signals indicate: a selectability of each instrument for control by the surgeon-console and a control mode of each instrument, the control mode comprising: a manipulation mode in which an instrument is controllable by the surgeon-console and a selection mode in which an instrument is selectable for control by the surgeon-console. The system is further configured to: determine a graphical arrangement of icons 356, where each icon represents an instrument and where the appearance of each icon is dependent upon one or more of the state-signals and to receive a mode change signal 358 indicating a change to the selection mode, so causing a change in the graphical arrangement of the icons to identify those instruments available for selection and to receive from the surgeon console an instrument select signal to select of one of the selectable instruments 362 and then modify the arrangement of icons 364 to identify that instrument as being selected and to enable control of the selected instrument by the surgeon console 366.
