Claim 15:
16. The surgical robot system of claim 1, further comprising kinematic sensors connected to the robot arm and operative to output kinematic movement data indicating change in pose of the robot arm relative to the robot base, and wherein the at least one processor is operative to:
after tracking pose of the end-effector relative to the anatomical structure captured in the image volume based on the US imaging data for a period of time and responsive to the US transducer ceasing to output US imaging data of the anatomical structure proximately located to the end-effector, trigger continued tracking of the pose of the end-effector relative to the anatomical structure captured in the image volume based on the kinematic movement data; and
responsive to the US transducer resuming output of US imaging data of the anatomical structure proximately located to the end-effector, trigger continued tracking of the pose of the end-effector relative to the anatomical structure captured in the image volume based on the US imaging data.
