Abstract
A surgical system includes a surgical tool configured to be coupled to a cutting element, a force system configured to provide at least some force to the surgical tool, and a controller programmed to generate control signals. The control signals cause the force system to provide a first constraint on a user's manual movement of the surgical tool when the cutting element is a first cutting element and provide a second constraint, different from the first constraint, on a user's manual movement of the surgical tool when the cutting element is a second cutting element.
