Abstract
A surgical system includes a robotic arm and a controller programmed to determine an approach area for the robotic arm based on whether a surgery is to be performed on a right or left side of a patient, check whether the robotic arm is in the approach area, and, in response to the robotic arm being in the approach area, control movement of the robotic arm to a starting pose for a registration or calibration routine for the robotic arm.
