Abstract
Methods and systems for guiding position and orientation of a robotic device holding a surgical tool are disclosed herein. For example, a method for guiding a robotic device holding a surgical tool configured for working a planned region of an anatomical structure can include detecting a presence of a distal tip of the tool in a target region on the anatomical structure, changing a visual aspect of a virtual representation of the target region when the tool tip is detected in said target region, computing a virtual goal defining a spatial range of position and orientation of the robotic device in which the tool is capable of working at least a determined part of the planned region, displaying the virtual goal and a representation of a tool base axis, and changing a visual aspect of the virtual goal when the representation of the base axis is inside the virtual goal.
