Summary: | A robotic surgical navigation system is disclosed. An example system includes a stereoscopic camera and a robotic arm having an end-effector connected to the camera. The system also includes a navigation computer that determines a first transformation between the stereoscopic camera and a target surgical site, a second transformation between the end-effector and a robotic base of the robotic arm, and a third transformation between the robotic base and the target surgical site. The navigation computer calculates a fourth transformation using the first, second, and third transformations. The fourth transformation represents a transformation between the end-effector and the stereoscopic camera. The navigation computer uses the transformations to determine coordinates for a view vector of the stereoscopic camera that are in a coordinate system of the robotic arm, thereby enabling movement of the robotic arm based on commands provided by an operator in relation to the view vector of the camera. |
