The disclosed spine surgery system includes preoperative mapping data relating to a patient vertebra, a vertebral localization element having a mating surface specific to the patient able to be coupled to the vertebra in a unique fixed position and a three-dimensional optical marker, a robot including a movable arm and carrying an end effector member, an optical sensor device at least partially carried by the end effector member and able to observe the marker of the vertebral localization member and deducing therefrom, in real time, the relative positioning data between this marker and the end effector member, and a processing unit that determines in real time the relative positioning between the end effector member and the vertebra, by calculating, in a three-dimensional spatial frame, the position of the end effector member and by it with a region of space occupied by the vertebra as modeled.
