Abstract: A method for generating a customized haptic boundary based on a patient-specific anatomy 
includes identifying a standard haptic boundary based on a geometry of a virtual implant model to 
be implanted on the anatomy. The method also includes identifying a reference feature associated 
with a virtual implant model and determining an intersection between the identified reference 
feature and a virtual model associated with an anatomy of the patient. An anatomic perimeter at the 
intersection between the identified reference feature and the virtual model of the anatomy is 
identified and an one anatomic feature is determined on the virtual model of the anatomy. The 
standard haptic boundary is modified based on the anatomic feature to generate a customized haptic 
boundary.
