Automated ablation control systems are described where the ablation system may generally comprise a surgical workstation having one or more robotic arm assemblies and configured to be in proximity to a surgical region of interest and a control station in communication with the surgical workstation and configured to control a positioning of each of the robotic arm assemblies. The system may also include an ultrasound instrument operably coupled to a first robotic arm assembly, an ablation instrument having a plurality of deployable stylets reconfigurable from a low-profile configuration to a deployed configuration, wherein the ablation instrument is operably coupled to a second robotic arm assembly, and an imaging instrument operably coupled to a third robotic arm assembly.
