Claim:
1. An automated robotic surgical assistance device for positioning a surgical instrument relative to an anatomical area of a body of a patient, comprising: a first robotic arm and a receiver disposed at an end of the first robotic arm, the receiver adapted to stably receive at least one surgical instrument, so as to hold and guide the surgical instrument; a second robotic arm and a sensor disposed at one end, the sensor adapted and configured to be in contact with the anatomical area, the sensor adapted to detect movement in the anatomical area; and a controller in operative communication with the first robotic arm, the controller adapted to, in response to movement in the anatomical area detected by the sensor, automatically control the position of the first robotic arm, wherein the first robotic arm has a first position, based on an image of the anatomical area acquired previously, to position the surgical instrument along a planned trajectory, the controller further adapted to automatically control the position of the first robotic arm to compensate for movement of the anatomical area relative to the surgical instrument to maintain the position of the surgical instrument along the planned trajectory.
