Abstract
A method includes controlling a robotic arm extending from a base in a free mode during a registration procedure and optically tracking the base and a marker mounted on the robotic arm during movement of the robotic arm in the free mode. The movement of the robotic arm causes movement of the marker without affecting a position of the base. The method also includes defining a coordinate transformation based on a position of the base and a plurality of tracked positions of the marker achieved during the movement of the robotic arm in the free mode and controlling the robotic arm using the coordinate transformation.
