Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for robotic assisted surgery. A robotic system includes a localizer, at least one controller, and a surgical robotic manipulator which separately and detachably receives an energy applicator and an implant insertion tool that detachably receives an implant specifically for knee, hip or shoulder replacement surgery. The at least one controller determines a location within a portion of a patient's anatomy in which to form a cavity for the implant. The surgical robotic manipulator is controlled to form the cavity with the energy applicator. The surgical robotic manipulator is then controlled to insert the implant into the cavity with the implant insertion tool.
