Abstract: For a surgical robotic system, a machine-learned model is used to determine port placement. For example, a machine-learned model indicates internal regions based on input of external measurements on a patient. An overlap of an inverse-kinematics-based operation region of the surgical robotic system and the internal regions of the patient is optimized based on port placement. In an alternative or additional approach, information about the surgeon (e.g., handedness) is used with the machine-learned model to determine port placement.
