Abstract

A robotic instrument system (10), comprising at least two instrument drive assemblies (16a, 16b) each detachably coupled to a respective instrument assembly. Each instrument assembly comprising an elongate, flexible guide instrument configured to be inserted into a patient's body. The instrument drive assemblies comprise one or more motors configure to operate a respective instrument assembly. One or more controllers (15) are operatively coupled to the instrument drive assemblies.
