A61B 34/00 A61B 34/30 A61B 34/10 A61B 17/00
Abstract:
An apparatus for calibration of a robotic arm having an end effector of a robot includes a magnetic coupler having a body, a receiving face, a mounting member, and a magnetic portion. The mounting member is configured to fixedly connect to the end effector of the robotic arm. A mechanical digitizer probe having a ball and a handle are provided, where the ball is fixedly attached to a distal end of the handle and the ball is removably coupled to the magnetic coupler via the magnetic portion on the receiving face to form a rotatable ball and socket connection, and where a proximal end of the handle is adapted to be attached to a mechanical digitizer associated with the robot. A method for calibration of the robotic arm of a robot is also detailed.

A method and system are provided to determine an optimal placement with respect to position and orientation for one or more bones in a workspace of a robot to improve robotic cutting and maximize the robot workspace during a robotic surgical procedure. The method is additionally useful to aid a user in positioning and orienting the bones in the operating room at the determined position and orientation.
