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 are disclosed. The robotic system interacts with an anatomy that is held by a support. The robotic system comprises a force-applying device that applies a force externally to the anatomy while the anatomy is held by the support. A controller measures the extent to which the anatomy is held by the support and controls the robotic system based on the measured extent.
