System and Method for Controlling a Surgical Manipulator Based on Implant Parameters

摘要

System and method for controlling a surgical manipulator to apply an energy applicator to a patient. The surgical manipulator cooperates with a navigation system to position the energy applicator with respect to a boundary so that the energy applicator is constrained from moving outside the boundary. The boundary is generated based on implant parameters measured after manufacture of the implant.

主权项

1. A robotic system comprising:
a surgical manipulator for applying an energy applicator to a patient; a navigation system configured to cooperate with said surgical manipulator to position the energy applicator with respect to a boundary between tissue of the patient to which the energy applicator should be applied and tissue of the patient to which the energy applicator should not be applied, said navigation system including a navigation processor and a boundary generator module operable on said navigation processor, wherein said boundary generator module is configured to define the boundary based on a plurality of inputs including data defining an implant to be fitted to the patient, wherein the data defining the implant includes measurements of the implant made after manufacture.
