Application: Robotic systems and methods for controlling a tool to remove material from a workpiece (Patent ID: US20240058084A1)
The patent filed by Stryker Corp describes a surgical system and method that involve a manipulator with links and joints, a tool, and a navigation system with trackers to determine the tool's pose relative to a workpiece. The system includes controllers that control the manipulator to remove portions from the workpiece based on detected density, with cutting depth adjusted accordingly. The system can modify tool operation based on density, detect forces experienced by the tool, and guide manual operation.
The claims detail the components and functions of the surgical system, including controllers adjusting cutting depth based on density, modifying tool operation, detecting forces on the tool, and obtaining density distribution from a pre-operative model. The method involves determining tool pose, controlling removal of portions based on density, modifying tool operation, and guiding manual operation. The system is versatile, with applications in procedures like total knee implants on femurs and bone density assessments.
