Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method for operating an assembly, such as a powered drill assembly. The assembly may be operated to provide feedback to the user regarding a selected position and/or condition of the powered drill system. The powered drill system may be used to power or drive a selected tool, such as a resection or grinding tool.
Claims23
A system to control operation of an instrument, comprising:
- a navigation system configured to determine a pose of the instrument;
- an instrument controller configured to operate the instrument according to a selected operation parameter, wherein the instrument controller comprises a processor module configured to execute instructions to alter the operation parameter of the instrument based at least on the determined pose of the instrument;
- and
- a boundary determination system configured to determine a boundary in an image;
- wherein the operation parameters are altered based on the determined pose of the instrument relative to the boundary.

A method to control operation of an instrument, comprising:
- determining a position of the instrument with a navigation system configured to determine a position of the instrument;
- determining a boundary in an image;
- and
- controlling an operation of the instrument according to a selected operation parameter, wherein controlling the operation includes executing instructions with a processor module to alter the operation parameter of the instrument based on the determined position of the instrument;
- wherein controlling the operation of the instrument is based on the determined position of the instrument relative to the boundary.
2 more elements
A method to control operation of a drill, comprising:
- determining a boundary within an image of a subject;
- and
- controlling an operation of the instrument according to a selected operation parameter by executing instructions with a processor module to alter an operation of the instrument based on a determined position of the instrument relative to the determined boundary;
- wherein the operation includes at least a full rotation of a tool driven by the instrument at a first position relative to the boundary and an oscillation of the tool driven by the instrument at a second position relative to the boundary.
