Claim 20:
21. A computer-implemented digital image analysis method for robotic in-vivo assembly and installation of an implant in a patient, the method comprising:
generating, by a computer system, a virtual three-dimensional model of the implant and an anatomy of the patient;
simulating, using virtual three-dimensional model, delivery of the implant from an incision site to an implant site in the virtual three-dimensional model to detect a pre-implantation route violation of one or more implant delivery constraints; and
in response to detection of the pre-implantation route violation, modifying a virtual segmentation of the implant to include separately deliverable implant components configured for in-vivo assembly within the patient such that the modified implant is configured to be implanted, using a delivery constraint compliant implantation process, wherein the delivery constraint compliant implantation process includes delivering the implant components into the patient, assembling the implant components within the patient, and implanting the assembled modified implant at the implantation site.
