Abstract

A system for controlling a first robotic arm relative to a second robotic arm is disclosed. The system includes a two robotic arms each including a surgical tool and a tool driver. A central control circuit is configured to communicate with the robotic arms to determine a position of the robotic arms and modify a control algorithm for one of the robotic arms based on the relative position of the other robotic arm.
