Abstract
A surgical system for positioning a prosthetic component includes a surgical tool and a force system configured to provide a force to the surgical tool. The system further includes a controller programmed to: compare an actual pose of a prosthetic component engaged by the surgical tool and a target pose of the prosthetic component, and generate control signals that cause the force system to allow movement of the surgical tool within a range of movement and to provide a force to constrain movement of the surgical tool beyond the range of movement. The force resists movement of the surgical tool that would cause substantial deviation between an aspect of the actual pose of the prosthetic component and a corresponding aspect of the target pose. The controller is programmed to generate control signals that cause the force system to maintain the force as the prosthetic component is implanted on the anatomy.
