Abstract: A control method may be applied to a surgical robot system including a slave robot having a robot arm to which a main surgical tool and an auxiliary surgical tool are coupled, and a master robot having a master manipulator to manipulate the robot arm. The control method includes acquiring data regarding a motion of the master manipulator, predicting a basic motion to be performed by an operator based on the acquired motion data and results of learning a plurality of motions constituting a surgical task, and adjusting the auxiliary surgical tool so as to correspond to the operator basic motion based on the predicted basic motion. The control method allows an operator to perform surgery more comfortably and to move or fix all required surgical tools to or at an optimized surgical position.
