Abstract
An end effector arm for use with a surgical navigation system includes a base configured to attach to an end effector coupler of a surgical robot arm and a mechanical linkage. The mechanical linkage includes a first end rotatably coupled to the base and a second end opposite the first end, the second end configured to be removably coupled to a handheld surgical tool. The end effector arm further includes a spring mechanism configured to impart a variable rotational force on the mechanical linkage based on an angle of rotation of the mechanical linkage with respect to the base.
