Systems and methods for navigation and control of an implant positioning device

A method for inserting an implant component during a surgical procedure, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a surgical control system, an implant plan comprising a desired implant position within an implant host;
• establishing a communication link between a control circuit and the surgical control system;
• receiving, by the control circuit, at least one system control signal from the surgical control system, wherein the at least one system control signal comprises an impact force to be applied to an implant positioning device;
• receiving, by the control circuit in operable communication with the surgical control system, one or more parameters indicating a tracked location of an implant positioning device comprising a positioning arm having a distal movable portion;
• responsive to determining that the implant component has not reached the desired implant position based on the received one or more parameters and a known relationship between the implant positioning device and the implant component, generating, at the control circuit, at least one motor control signal;
• receiving, at a motor operably connected to the control circuit, the at least one motor control signal;
• and
• moving, by the motor, a plurality of linear actuators mechanically connected to the motor and the distal movable portion as a result of the at least one motor control signal to thereby impart impact forces on localized portions on a circumference of an end effector to induce during insertion a rotational motion on the implant component.
