    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a safety mechanism for a robotically controlled surgical tool. Embodiments of the methods use sensors to detect parameters that vary by the tissue traversed by a surgical tool. The sensors detect signals arising from the interaction of the surgical tool with the tissue and provide this information to a robotic controller. For example, during drilling, the sensors may measure power, vibration, sound frequency, mechanical load, electrical impedance, and distance traversed according to preoperative measurements on a three-dimensional image set used for planning the tool trajectory. By comparing the detected output with that expected for the tool position based on the planned trajectory, identified discrepancies in output would indicate that the tool has veered from the planned trajectory. The robotic controller may then alter the tool trajectory, change the speed of the tool, or discontinue power to the tool, thereby preventing damage to underlying tissue.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for detecting, monitoring, and accounting for anatomical motion is provided. An initial contact between a first robotic arm and an anatomical element of a patient may be detected based on information received from at least one internal sensor of the first robotic arm. A position of the anatomical element may be determined based on the information. The determined position may be compared to an expected position of the anatomical element. A tool trajectory of a second robotic arm may be updated when the determined position is offset from the expected position.
