1. A system, comprising:
a robotic assembly configured to move an implantable medical device relative to an anatomical structure of a recipient; and
a control unit configured to receive data from the implantable medical device and control the robotic assembly based at least in part on the received data, wherein
the control unit is configured to control the robotic assembly to move the implantable medical device relative to the anatomical structure according to a respective insertion regime that is a member of a plurality of different predetermined insertion regimes; and
the control unit is configured to weight different features of data based on the data from the implantable medical device based on the respective insertion regime and control the robotic assembly differently based on the different weights.
