Patent number: 9770306Abstract: A surgical system for positioning a prosthetic component includes a surgical tool and a force system configured to provide a force to the surgical tool. The system further includes a controller programmed to: compare an actual pose of a prosthetic component engaged by the surgical tool and a target pose of the prosthetic component, and generate control signals that cause the force system to allow movement of the surgical tool within a range of movement and to provide a force to constrain movement of the surgical tool beyond the range of movement. The force resists movement of the surgical tool that would cause substantial deviation between an aspect of the actual pose of the prosthetic component and a corresponding aspect of the target pose. The controller is programmed to generate control signals that cause the force system to maintain the force as the prosthetic component is implanted on the anatomy.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Benny Hagag, Hyosig Kang, Alon Mozes, Daniel Odermatt, Brian D.

Patent number: 9597157Abstract: A surgical system includes a surgical tool configured to be coupled to a cutting element, a force system configured to provide at least some force to the surgical tool, and a controller programmed to generate control signals. The control signals cause the force system to provide a first constraint on a user's manual movement of the surgical tool when the cutting element is a first cutting element and provide a second constraint, different from the first constraint, on a user's manual movement of the surgical tool when the cutting element is a second cutting element.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Benny Hagag, Hyosig Kang, Alon Mozes, Daniel Odermatt, Brian D.

Patent number: 8992542Abstract: A surgical system for positioning a prosthetic component on an anatomy of a patient includes a surgical tool configured to engage the prosthetic component, a force system configured to provide at least some force to the surgical tool, and a controller programmed to compare a target pose of the prosthetic component and an actual pose of the prosthetic component engaged by the surgical tool and generate control signals that cause the force system to allow movement of the surgical tool within a range of movement and provide haptic feedback to constrain a user's ability to manually move the surgical tool beyond the range of movement. The haptic feedback resists movement of the surgical tool by the user that would cause substantial deviation between at least one aspect of the actual pose of the prosthetic component and a corresponding aspect of the target pose of the prosthetic component.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Benny Hagag, Hyosig Kang, Alon Mozes, Daniel Odermatt, Brian D.

Publication number: 20050171558Abstract: Morphing or fitting a brain atlas to a diagnostic image data set of the patient, or to a patient registered to the brain atlas, is enhanced using measurements of one or more physical characteristics of the brain taken with the aid of an instrument as it is being inserted into the brain. The measurements are then compared against known physical characteristics of certain brain structures, thus permitting correlation of the measured physical characteristic to a brain structure. The brain atlas then may be morphed or deformed so that the identified brain structure in the atlas is at or near the position at which the measurement was taken, as known from the tracked position of the instrument.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2004Publication date: August 4, 2005Inventors: Rony Abovitz, Arthur Quaid, Benny Hagag, Thomas Hartkens
