Abstract
Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining control data for increasing the braking force exerted by a braking mechanism of a mechatronic articulable arm on at least one or all joints connecting the arm elements of the mechatronic articulable arm to a level of braking force which is higher than the level required for locking the joint or joints, respectively. The control data is determined in dependence on both the relative position between the mechatronic articulable arm and an anatomical body part of patient, and a locking state of the mechatronic articulable arm.
