1. A system for monitoring registration of a patient to a surgical robot, said system comprising:
a dynamic reference base (DRB) including at least one array marker;
a dynamic reference base post connected to the DRB; and
a surveillance marker adapted to be disposed at a predetermined distance from the DRB and trackable by a tracking camera system, wherein the surveillance marker is configured to be secured to the patient independently from the DRB and is an optical marker, wherein the surveillance marker is mechanically not connected to the DRB.
