1. A system, comprising:
a neuromonitoring system configured to:
monitor a nerve of a patient with one or more electrodes attached to the patient; and
generate, based on the monitoring, nerve data regarding a state of the nerve during a surgical procedure on the patient; and
a robotic system configured to:
receive or generate, for the surgical procedure, location data that identifies a location of the nerve of the patient;
cause the neuromonitoring system to be in either an active state or an inactive state based on the location data, the active state being a state in which the neuromonitoring system monitors the nerve with the one or more electrodes attached to the patient and provides corresponding nerve data to the robotic system, the inactive state being a state in which the neuromonitoring system does not monitor the nerve with the one or more electrodes and does not provide corresponding nerve data to the robotic system; and
generate at least one control signal that implements one or more safeguards for the surgical procedure.
