Zusammenfassung:A system is configured to direct a manipulator cart to navigate, in a first bifurcated navigation control mode, from an initial location to an intermediate location; and direct the manipulator cart to navigate, in a second bifurcated navigation control mode, from the intermediate location to a target location. In the first bifurcated navigation control mode, the system is configured to autonomously control a steering of the manipulator cart while allowing operator control of a propulsion of the manipulator cart using a primary control interface configured to facilitate operator control of both steering and propulsion of the manipulator cart. In the second bifurcated navigation control mode, the system is configured to autonomously control the steering of the manipulator cart while allowing operator control of the propulsion of the manipulator cart using a secondary control interface configured to facilitate operator control of the propulsion and not the steering of the manipulator cart.
