Abstract
A robotic system employing a plurality of surgical robots () and a surgical procedure controller () for executing a surgical procedure on an anatomical structure (e.g., a heart) within an anatomical region (e.g., a thoracic region). In operation, controller () autonomously controls a navigation of each surgical robot () within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure by directing a navigation of each surgical robot () within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure based on a surgical plan for executing the surgical procedure on the anatomical structure (e.g., a convergent ablation plan consisting of an epicardial ablation plan for abating an exterior of a heart and an endocardial ablation plan for ablating an interior of the heart) and further by revising the surgical plan responsive to a partial or complete inability of one or more of the surgical robots () to be navigated within the anatomical region relative to the anatomical structure based on the surgical plan.
