Abstract
A method and system for controlling at least one robotically controlled surgical tool via vocal activation include detecting a vocal command generated by a surgeon, converting said at least one surgeon in said surgical setting via said voice sensor.

A method of controlling at least one robotically controlled surgical tool via vocal activation, said method comprises:
- introducing a robotically controlled surgical tool into a surgical environment in a body cavity;
- detecting said at least one vocal command generated by at least one surgeon in a surgical setting;
- in response to said vocal command, generating at least one predetermined set of operative instructions associated with at least one robotically controlled surgical tool via said processor, said operative instructions generated instructions according to a predetermined set of rules, said at least one predetermined set of rules comprising at least one rule selected from a group consisting of:
- no fly zone rule, and collision prevention rule, history-based rule, tool-dependent tule, each said rule defining allowed and restricted movements, said allowed movement being movements of said surgical tool permitted by said controller and said restricted movement being movements of said surgical tool denied by said controller according to said predetermined set of rules;
- and
- operating said at least one robotically controlled surgical tool within the surgical environment according to said predetermined set of operative instructions.
