# Robotic surgical system with cut selection logic

## Abstract

A method of controlling a surgical system includes obtaining a surgical plan including a plurality of planned cuts associated with a plurality of bones of a patient, selecting a first bone of the plurality of bones by tracking a probe and automatically determining which of the plurality of bones is contacted by the probe, automatically selecting a first planned cut using stored associations between the plurality of planned cuts and the plurality of bones of the patient, and guiding execution of the first planned cut.
