OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A user interface for a robotic medical system, the user interface comprising:
an interlocking system including an input device configured to control a percutaneous device based on a physical activation of the input device;
the interlocking system including a capacitive touch detection circuit operatively coupled to a cover of the input device detecting when a user is touching the cover, the interlocking system being configured to detect operation of the input device by the user, wherein the interlocking system is configured to prevent movement of the percutaneous device when the user is not touching the cover of the input device.
 
7. A catheter procedure system comprising:
a bedside system comprising at least one drive mechanism configured to control a percutaneous device; and
an interlocking system coupled to the bedside system, the interlocking system including an input device configured to control the percutaneous device, via the bedside system, based on a physical activation of the input device;
the interlocking system including a capacitive touch detection circuit operatively coupled to a cover of the input device detecting when a user is touching the cover, the interlocking system being configured to detect operation of the input device by a user, wherein the interlocking system is configured to prevent movement of the percutaneous device when the user is not touching the cover of the input device.
