Intermediaries for a robot and robotic end effector for orthopedic surgery operatively couple a surgical robot to an end effector of such a robot. The intermediaries therefor comprise means to absorb and/or counteract reactionary forces from the end effector (which end effector may, as an example, be a surgical tool) and to reduce forces that would otherwise be imparted on the robot. An intermediary comprises a sleeve of shock-absorbing material that couples the robot and end effector. Another intermediary comprises an isolation connector that provides for an indirect coupling between the robot and the end effector and includes an absorption means for absorption or dispersion of reactionary forces from the end effector.
An intermediary for at least one of an orthopedic surgery robot and robot end-effector, the intermediary comprising an absorption means, said absorption means capable of receiving a force imparted by the end-effector and capable of reducing the impartation of the force from the end-effector upon the robot.
An intermediary for a robot end-effector for orthopedic surgery, said intermediary comprising an isolation connector, said isolation connector capable of indirectly coupling with an orthopedic surgery robot and robot end-effector, said isolation connector capable of absorbing a force of the end-effector that would otherwise be imparted on the robot.
