Robotic Hand-Held Surgical Instrument Systems And Methods

Abstract: a hand-held robotic system for use with a saw blade, the system including an instrument, a localizer, and a controller. the instrument including a hand-held portion, a blade support coupled to the hand-held portion, and an actuator assembly including a plurality of actuators to move the blade support in three degrees of freedom relative to the hand-held portion to place the blade on a desired plane. the controller capable of determining a pose of the saw blade relative to the desired plane based on a position of each of the plurality of actuators. the controller being further configured to be operable between a first mode allowing the instrument to operate and to control each of the plurality of actuators to maintain the saw blade on the desired plane; and a second mode disabling the instrument based on the pose of the saw blade relative to the desire plane.
