1. A system comprising:
a camera to detect a tracker coupled to a robotic surgical device;
a display device; and
processing circuitry coupled to memory, including processing instructions, which when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
generate a graphical user interface for presentation on the display device, the graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to position the camera within the surgical field;
determine whether the camera is within a target volume location;
in response to determining that the camera is within the target volume location, automatically output an indication that the camera is within the target volume location;
output a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser of the camera to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera; and
display a confirmation that the camera is within the target volume location and properly oriented.
