A method includes generating an anatomical model corresponding to an anatomical feature of a patient, proposing a component for coupling to the anatomical feature of the patient, positioning a virtual model corresponding to the component in a proposed location relative to the anatomical model, generating a planned resection geometry based on a virtual relationship between the virtual model and the anatomical model, tracking movement of a surgical instrument relative to the anatomical feature, and simultaneously displaying the planned resection geometry, the anatomical model, and a graphic corresponding to the surgical instrument on a display based in part on the tracked movement of the surgical instrument relative to the anatomical feature.

A surgical system includes a robotic device configured to facilitate performance of a procedure and a computer system communicable with the robotic device. The computer system is programmed to associate a virtual object with an anatomical feature, adjust the virtual object associated with the anatomical feature in response to movement of the anatomical feature during the procedure by monitoring detected movement of the anatomical feature and adjusting the virtual object in response to the detected movement, and control the robotic device based on a relationship between at least one point associated with the robotic device and the virtual object during the procedure.

A surgical system includes a surgical tool, a tracking system configured to obtain tracking data indicative of positions of the surgical tool relative to an anatomical feature, an acoustic device, and a computer system programmed to control the acoustic device to provide acoustic feedback to a user based on the tracking data.

The disclosure relates to a system and/or method to create or otherwise define one or more virtual barriers for confining or controlling an autonomous robotic device substantially within one or more portion of one or more selected working areas, for example, to prohibit entrance of certain areas. The system and/or method may use a set of beacon transmitters that emit time-stamped signals, which are received by one or more robots and used to calculate the robotic device's distance from such beacons.

A method for operating a robotic arm using a first visualization device includes visually indicating, on the robotic arm and/or in the workspace of the robotic arm and/or on a work surface below the robotic arm, an imminent adjustment of at least one axis of the robotic arm, in particular of at least one axis closest to the robotic arm base.

In one embodiment, a virtual boundary is provided in the global coordinates of the area map and is converted into a plurality of line segments corresponding to a plurality of partial maps. In one embodiment, a physical boundary indicator is used during a training/mapping run, with the location added to the area map and the physical boundary indicator later moved. In one embodiment, the virtual boundary changes over time to change cleaning areas, act as a gate, change associated cleaning mode, etc. In one embodiment, virtual areas with boundaries are selected by a user.

A method is provided that includes: receiving designation of one or more operation sections; generating a plurality of path candidates of a robot for a target operation section of the one or more operation sections; displaying the plurality of path candidates on a user interface; receiving a selection of one of the plurality of path candidates; and deciding the selected path candidate as the operation path of the target operation section.

This robot system comprises: a display control unit which controls an image to be displayed in a display region of a display unit; and a reference direction setting unit which sets a reference direction for determining the orientation of an image. On the basis of the axial positions of respective joint shafts of the robot and the reference direction, the display control unit controls the orientation of an image shown on the display unit so as to perform display that represents a prescribed postural relation with respect to the reference direction.

An information processing apparatus includes a display controller that, when position information on a movable object is changed, changes a display size of an image associated with the movable object and displays the image.
