System and method of controlling a robotic system for manipulating anatomy of a patient during a surgical procedure

Abstract:

System and methods of controlling a robotic system for manipulating anatomy of a patient during a surgical procedure include applying a force to the anatomy to generate a response by the anatomy. The response of the anatomy is measured and a characteristic of the anatomy is calculated based on the response. An instrument is autonomously controlled in relation to the anatomy based on the calculated characteristic.
