1. A system, comprising:
a master console including a first plurality of links, the first plurality of links configured to move in response to movements applied at a handle coupleable to at least one of the first plurality of links;
a slave console disposed separately from the master console, the slave console including a second plurality of links and a plurality of actuators, the plurality of actuators configured to be operatively coupled to the second plurality of links and an end effector, the slave console being operatively coupled to the master console such that movements of the first plurality of links and the handle causes corresponding macro-movements of the second plurality of links and micro-movements of the end effector to perform a surgery; and
a control system operatively coupled to the master console and the slave console, the control system configured to:
set, after a user has engaged the handle, the system to a macro-synchronization state;
control, when the system is in the macro-synchronization state, the plurality of actuators to cause the macro-movements of at least one of the second plurality of links in response to the movements of the first plurality of links; and
set, in response to detecting an actuation pattern at the handle, the system to at least a micro-synchronization state; and
control, when the system is in at least the micro-synchronization state, the plurality of actuators to cause the micro-movements of the end effector in response to the movements at the handle.
