A method and system are provided to determine an optimal placement with respect to position and orientation for one or more bones in a workspace of a robot to improve robotic cutting and maximize the robot workspace during a robotic surgical procedure. The method is additionally useful to aid a user in positioning and orienting the bones in the operating room at the determined position and orientation.

Method to determine bone placement in a robot workspace

A system and method of use thereof are provided for dynamically generating an environmental map for use in robotic assisted surgery. The generated environmental map is used to plan a recovery tool path that an end-effector tool can safely and efficiently follow to re-position the tool back to a cutting position following the displacement of the tool from the cutting position. Additionally, the environmental map is used to update a virtual representation of a bone to provide a user with visual feedback as to the progression of the end-effector tool as the tool removes material from the bone during a surgical procedure.
