ABSTRACT

A method for controlling a robotic arm in a robotic surgical system includes
defining a reference plane at a predetermined reference location for a robotic
arm, where the robotic arm includes a plurality of joints, and driving at
least one of the plurality of joints to guide the robotic arm through a series
of predetermined poses substantially constrained within the reference plane.
