Making robots mill bone more like human surgeons: Using bone density and anatomic information to mill safely and efficiently

IROS 2016poster

Surgeons and robots typically use different approaches for bone milling. Surgeons adjust their speed and tool incidence angle constantly, which enables them to efficiently mill porous bone. Surgeons also adjust milling parameters such as speed and depth of cut throughout the procedure based on proxi…
