摘要：
A system and method of aligning with a reference target includes a computer-assisted device. The computer-assisted device includes a link, one or more first joints coupled proximally to the link, an articulated arm comprising one or more second joints coupled distally to the link, the articulated arm configured to couple to an instrument, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to position or orient the link, using the one or more first joints, based on at least one reference of the instrument selected from the group consisting of a reference point associated with the instrument and a reference orientation of the instrument. The control unit is further configured to maintain, while positioning or orienting the link and by using the one or more second joints, a position or an orientation of the instrument relative to a workspace in accordance with the at least one reference of the instrument.
