Abstract
A system and method includes deploying first and second articulated arms of a computer-assisted device so that a first attachment point on the first articulated arm and a second attachment point of the second articulated arm are positioned and oriented relative to each other based on a size and a shape of an arm stabilizer; stabilizing and reducing vibration of the first and second articulated arms by attaching the arm stabilizer to the first and second attachment points; after the stabilizing and reducing vibration of the first and second articulated arms, positioning and orienting a tool with the first articulated arm; and after the positioning and orienting of the tool, operating the tool. In some embodiments, the tool is a medical tool. In some embodiments, the system and method further include positioning and orienting a second tool with the second articulated arm and operating the second tool.
