Abstract
A rotary tool includes a tool body and a powered rotary cutting tooltip that is oriented and positioned relative to the tool body by a plurality of processor-controlled actuators that provide degrees of freedom. The processor uses a surgical tracking system to identify the pose of the tool body and the tooltip relative to a patient's anatomy and controls the actuators to maintain the tooltip within a predetermined cutting plan to compensate for deviation of a surgeon's hand or a robotic arm controlling the tool body during a cutting operation.
