An adapter plate assembly which provides a convenient interface between a mounting support assembly for suspending an instrument driver robotic instrument system above a operating table. The adapter plate securely mounts to the operating table, and may be adjustable so that it can be adjusted to fit various sizes and models of operating tables. The adapter plate assembly comprises a main plate which rests on the surface of the operating table. A first clamp assembly which removably attaches to the operating table is mounted on one or more horizontal adjustment rods which are slidably received in one of the main plate in order to provide adjustability to the width of the adapter plate assembly. On the opposing end of the main plate, a second clamp assembly is coupled main plate. In order to secure the support assembly of a robotic instrument system, an adapter rail is also coupled to the main plate.

A support assembly for supporting a remotely controlled instrument driver in a selectable orientation relative to an operating table, the assembly comprising including a base removably attachable to the operating table, an actuator assembly coupled to the base, the actuator assembly including an actuator and a brake that is electronically activated to allow rotation of a first extension member about a first axis substantially orthogonal to the operating table. A second extension member is coupled to the first extension member via an interface assembly operatively controlled by the actuator to selectively allow rotation of the second extension member about a second axis substantially parallel to the first axis, and about a third axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.

System and methods for manipulating and positioning elongated flexible members are described herein. In on variation, an elongate member manipulator includes an elongate member holder having first and second rotary members configured to hold an elongate member, wherein the rotary members are actuated in opposite rotational directions to generate a corresponding linear motion of the elongate member held by the rotary members along a longitudinal axis of the elongate member, and wherein the rotary members are actuated in opposite linear directions to generate a corresponding rotational motion of the elongate member held by the rotary members about the longitudinal axis of the elongate member.

Described herein are systems and methods for aligning an elongate member with an access site. An alignment system for controlling an alignment of a robotically controlled elongate member at an access site on a patient may include a longitudinal support rail and support arms coupled with and extending from the longitudinal support rail to form an alignment joint. One or more of the support arms may be configured to maintain the alignment of the elongate member with the access site during a surgical procedure. A method of aligning an elongate member with an access site may include determining a position of a stabilizer of an alignment joint and the access site on a patient, coupling the stabilizer to the access site on the patient, and automatically aligning the instrument driver with the stabilizer on the patient.
