Abstract

Delivery systems and methods for delivering a material to a target site. A delivery instrument is coupled to a robotic manipulator and includes a delivery device with a distal tip having an opening to deliver the material to the target site. Controller(s) obtain a virtual model of the target site and a virtual boundary associated with the virtual model. The controller(s) register, using a navigation system, the virtual model and the virtual boundary to the target site and control the robotic manipulator to move the distal tip of the delivery device with respect to the target site. The controller(s) detect that distal tip of the delivery device either is, or will, interact with the virtual boundary, and in response, control the robotic manipulator to move the distal tip away from the virtual boundary.
