A medical navigation system is provided including a surgical positioning system for positioning a payload during a medical procedure. The medical navigation system has a robotic arm having a plurality of joints, the robotic arm forming part of the surgical positioning system and having an end effector for holding the payload, an input device for providing input, and a controller electrically coupled to the robotic arm and the input device. The controller has a processor coupled to a memory and the controller is configured to perform the following during the medical procedure: position the robotic arm in a first position by providing a first positioning signal to the robotic arm; save the first position in the memory as a first saved position in response to a signal received from the input device; position the robotic arm in a second position by providing a second positioning signal to the robotic arm; and return the robotic arm to the first position by loading the first saved position from the memory and providing the first positioning signal to the robotic arm when an input is received from the input device corresponding to a command to return to the first saved position.
