1. A robotic system comprising:
- a display;
an ultrasound transducer;
a robotic arm mechanically coupled to the ultrasound transducer; and
a processor executing a pre-programmed sequence of computer instructions that causes the robotic arm to move the ultrasound transducer so as to sweep the work site during performance of a medical procedure on the patient to obtain a plurality of spaced two-dimensional ultrasound images to provide sufficient information for construction of a three-dimensional model of at least a portion of the work site.

Abstract
Systems and methods for performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures on a patient enable an image display device to provide an operator with auxiliary information related to the surgical procedure, in addition to providing an image of the surgical site itself. The systems and methods allow an operator to selectively access and reference auxiliary information on the image display device during the performance of a surgical procedure.
