Abstract
A system includes a surgical tool, a robot holding the surgical tool, and non-transitory computer-readable memory storing instructions that, when executed, cause the robot to perform operations including automatically moving the surgical tool to a virtual geometry correlated with an anatomical structure and forcing, following arrival of the surgical tool at the virtual geometry, the surgical tool to stay at the virtual geometry while allowing manual repositioning of the surgical tool along the virtual geometry.
