Claim 0:
1. A method for transferring a robotic arm from a mounting surface to which the robotic arm is attached during use to a mobile cart for storage and/or transport of the robotic arm, the method comprising:
tracking the location of the mobile cart relative to the robotic arm using a motion tracking system comprising an optical sensor device;
determining the arrangement of a joint disposed between linkages of the robotic arm based on signals from an encoder associated with the joint; and
controlling the robotic arm to move at least one linkage of the robotic arm to place the robotic arm into a pose that facilitates transferring the robotic arm from the mounting surface to the mobile cart based on the tracked location of the mobile cart determined with the optical sensor device.
