Abstract
Systems and methods for operating a robotic surgical system are provided. The system includes a surgical tool, a manipulator comprising links for controlling the tool, a navigation system includes a tracker and a localizer to monitor a state of the tracker. Controller(s) determine a relationship between one or more components of the manipulator and one or more components of the navigation system by utilizing kinematic measurement data from the manipulator and navigation data from the navigation system. The controller(s) utilize the relationship to determine whether an error has occurred relating to at least one of the manipulator and the navigation system. The error is at least one of undesired movement of the manipulator, undesired movement of the localizer, failure of any one or more components of the manipulator or the localizer, and/or improper calibration data.
