System And Method For Arranging Objects In An Operating Room In Preparation For Surgical Procedures

A method for guiding arrangement of a robotic system in an operating room using a localizer, one or more controllers, and a display coupled to the one or more controllers and being disposed in the operating room, the method comprising:

• evaluating surgical procedure information with the one or more controllers;
• determining, with the one or more controllers, a desired placement of the robotic system in the operating room based on evaluating the surgical procedure information;
• determining, with the localizer, a current placement of the robotic system in the operating room;
• and
• guiding a user on manual placement of the robotic system in the operating room by displaying, on the display, visual representations of the current placement and the desired placement of the robotic system.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium usable with a system comprising one or more controllers, a localizer, and a display, the non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions that implement a software module for guiding arrangement of a robotic system in an operating room, the instructions, when executed by the one or more controllers, are configured to:

• evaluate surgical procedure information;
• determine a desired placement of the robotic system in the operating room based on evaluation of the surgical procedure information;
• obtain, from the localizer, a current placement of the robotic system in the operating room;
• and
• instruct the display to display visual representations of the current placement and the desired placement of the robotic system to guide a user on manual placement of the robotic system in the operating room.
