Selectively Automated Robotic Surgical System

Abstract

Robotic surgical systems and computer-implemented methods for manipulating an anatomy involve a manipulator to support and move a saw tool, a user interface, and a control system. The control system associates a target plane with the anatomy and receives user selection(s) defining whether action(s) involving movement of the saw tool with respect to the target plane should be facilitated using an automated mode or a manual mode of the manipulator. The control system operates the manipulator to facilitate the action(s) in the automated mode or the manual mode as defined by the user selection(s).
