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.

A method of scaling a desired velocity of a tool of a surgical robot with a processing unit includes receiving an input signal, determining a position of the tool relative to a boundary of a surgical site, and scaling a desired velocity of movement of the tool when the tool is within a predetermined distance of the boundary of the surgical site. The input signal includes the desired velocity of movement of the tool.

A control server controls a dual-arm robotic manipulator (DARM) for handling deformable objects in a stack. The control server receives a set of images of the stack captured by a set of image sensors, and determines a contour of the stack based the set of images. Based on the contour and historical data associated with the deformable objects in the stack, the control server determines a sequence of actions to be performed by the DARM for handling a first deformable object in the stack, and controls the DARM to handle the first deformable object by communicating a set of commands corresponding to each action in sequence of actions. The first deformable object is handled such that original form factors of the first deformable object and the remaining stack are maintained.
