Bone mount end effector

A system, comprising:

• a robotic arm;
• an end effector having a proximal end and a distal end,
• wherein the proximal end of the end effector is connected to the robotic arm;
• a bone mount attachable to an anatomical element at one end of the bone mount;
• and
• a bone mount interface coupled to the distal end of the end effector via a proximal end of the bone mount interface and attached to another end of the bone mount via a distal end of the bone mount interface,
• wherein the bone mount interface is configured to add a degree of freedom to the end effector.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• at least one robotic arm;
• and
• a memory storing data for processing by the one or more processors that, when processed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• determine, based on first sensor data, a first force exerted by a bone mount interface onto a bone mount attached to an anatomical element,
• wherein the bone mount interface is couple to an end effector of the at least one robotic arm;
• determine, based on second sensor data, a second force different from the first force, exerted by the bone mount interface onto the bone mount;
• and
• output a control signal based on the second force exerted on the bone mount.

A method, comprising:

• attaching one end of a bone mount to an anatomical element;
• coupling a bone mount interface to a distal end of an end effector of a robotic arm via a proximal end of the bone mount interface;
• and
• attaching another end of the bone mount to a distal end of the bone mount interface,
• wherein the bone mount interface is configured to add a degree of freedom to the end effector.
