Abstract
The present teaching relates to automated trocar/robot base location determination. An input related to a surgical operation includes a three-dimensional (3D) model for an organ with cut points on the organ forming a surgical trajectory. A surgical instrument is controlled by a robot to reach the cut points to carry out the operation. An insertion location for inserting the surgical instrument is identified. Based on the identified insertion location, a robot base location is determined with respect to the identified insertion location to deploy the robot for controlling the surgical instrument to reach the cut points. Signals for configuring the surgical setting are then generated based on the insertion location for the surgical instrument and the base location for the robot.
