The invention provides robotic surgical systems which allow selectable independent repositioning of an input handle of a master controller and/or a surgical end effector without corresponding movement of the other. In some embodiments, independent repositioning is limited to translational degrees of freedom. In other embodiments, the system provides an input device adjacent a manipulator supporting the surgical instrument so that an assistant can reposition the instrument at the patient's side.

1. A robotic surgical system comprising:a master controller with an input handle movable in a plurality of degrees of freedom; a robotic manipulator assembly including a surgical end effector movable in a plurality of degrees of freedom; a control system coupling the master controller to the manipulator assembly, the control system having first and second modes, the control system in the first mode configured to effect corresponding movement of the end effector in response to movement of the handle, the control system configured to allow independent repositioning of the handle or the end effector in at least one of the degrees of freedom and to inhibit independent repositioning in at least one of the other degrees of freedom when the control system is in the second mode.
