The systems and methods can be used to perform robotic-assisted surgery. The system may include a robotic controller to monitor the position and orientation of an end effector coupled to the end of the robotic arm. The robotic controller may apply force to the bone using an end effector, eg, via a soft tissue balancing member. The robotic controller can use information from the tracking system to determine soft tissue balance, such as a portion of the first tracker fixed to the bone. This soft tissue balance can be output to a display device. |
