Abstract

A robotized computer-assisted surgery system may include a processing unit and a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the processing unit and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processing unit for obtaining readings from some capacitive sensors representative of at least one object within range; generating a surface model of the at least one object from the readings; and continuously tracking and outputting the position and orientation of the at least one object relative to the robot arm, using the readings and the surface model.
