1. A method of performing surgery with a surgical robotic system, comprising:
positioning a first surgical instrument on a first robotic manipulator and positioning a second surgical instrument on a second robotic manipulator;
positioning a distal part of the first surgical instrument in a patient body cavity, and positioning a distal part of the second surgical instrument in a patient body cavity;
operatively assigning the first robotic manipulator to a user interface for movement of the first surgical instrument in response to user input signals generated from a user control at the user interface;
generating dynamic control signals based on a vector defined by the position of the first surgical instrument relative to the second surgical instrument, wherein the second robotic manipulators is moveable in response to said dynamic control signals to move the second surgical instrument.
