Abstract
A method of placing a surgical robotic cart assembly includes, determining a first position of a first surgical robotic cart assembly relative to a surgical table, calculating a path for the first surgical robotic cart assembly towards a second position of the first surgical robotic cart assembly relative to the surgical table, wherein in the second position, the first surgical robotic cart assembly is spaced-apart a first safe distance from the surgical table, moving the first surgical robotic cart assembly autonomously towards the second position thereof, and detecting a potential collision along the path of the first surgical robotic cart assembly as the first surgical robotic cart assembly moves towards the second position thereof.
