a tracking system configured to determine a pose of an anatomical structure that is to be cut by the saw blade and to determine a pose of the saw blade,, wherein the surgical robot includes
a robot base,
the robot arm is connected to the robot base and configured to position the passive end effector,
at least one motor operatively connected to move the robot arm relative to the robot base, and
at least one controller connected to the at least one motor and configured to determine a pose of a target plane based on a surgical plan defining where the anatomical structure is to be cut and based on the pose of the anatomical structure, and
generate steering information based on comparison of the pose of the target plane and the pose of the surgical saw, wherein the steering information indicates where the passive end effector needs to be moved to position the working plane of the passive end effector so the cutting plane of the saw blade is aligned with the target plane.
