1. An apparatus, comprising:
a restart of a surgical robotic system, the restart including an actuator that is configured to be physically activated by a sterile user from within a sterile filed without compromising the sterile field,
a controller operatively coupled to the restart, the controller being configured to:
deactivate, in response to detecting an abnormal event, teleoperation of a slave manipulator of the surgical robotic system or an instrument coupled to the slave manipulator by a user-operated device at a master console of the surgical robotic system; and
detect that the actuator has been physically activated; and
after detecting that the actuator has been physically activated, restart the surgical robotic system.
