1. A process for positioning a robot with respect to a bone of a patient, the robot comprising a moveable base, a manipulator arm, and an end-effector coupled to the manipulator arm, said process comprising:
determining a position and/or orientation (POSE) for an axis of the end-effector in a workspace of the robot; and
positioning the axis of the end-effector, with the manipulator arm, in the determined POSE, which then provides feedback for positioning the moveable base of the robot with respect to the patient by aligning a longitudinal axis of the bone with the axis of the end-effector positioned in the determined POSE.
