Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting an error in a surgical system. The surgical system includes a manipulator with a base and a plurality of links and the manipulator supports a surgical tool. The system includes a navigation system with a tracker and a localizer to monitor a state of the tracker. Controller(s) determine values of a first transform between a state of the base of the manipulator and a state of one or both of the localizer and the tracker of the navigation system. The controller(s) determine values of a second transform between the state of the localizer and the state of the tracker. The controller(s) combine values of the first transform and the second transform to determine whether an error has occurred relating to one or both of the manipulator and the localizer.
