Abstract
A computer-assisted device includes an articulating means configured to support an end effector and a processing means. When coupled to the articulating means and a patient supporting means, the processing means is configured to configure a first joint of the articulating means to a first mode to allow movement of the first joint in response to an external force on the articulating means, detect movement of the first joint, determine a movement of the patient supporting means, and drive a second joint of the articulating means based on the movement of the first joint and the movement of the patient supporting means.
