Abstract
Surgical systems and methods for manipulating an anatomy includes a surgical tool, a robotic manipulator configured to support and move the surgical tool, and controller(s) that generate a virtual boundaries delineating a portions of the anatomy allowed to be removed by the surgical tool. The controller(s) control the robotic manipulator to autonomously move the surgical tool in relation to a first virtual boundary and according to a first feed rate or first frequency of path oscillations to remove a first portion. The controller(s) control the robotic manipulator to autonomously move the surgical tool in relation to a second virtual boundary that is spaced from the first virtual boundary, and according to a different feed rate or different frequency of path oscillations, to remove a second portion.
