Abstract
Described are computer-based surgical methods and apparatuses for a self-detecting kinematic assembly. The self-detecting kinematic clamp assembly detects and indicates a degradation in pose. The self-detecting kinematic clamp assembly includes a tracking element for tracking a pose of the kinematic clamp assembly. The self-detecting kinematic clamp assembly includes a base portion comprising a fixation device that is attachable to a rigid body, and a top portion connected to the tracking element, the top portion being removably connected to the base portion. The self-detecting kinematic clamp assembly includes a detection mechanism, the detection mechanism including three or more contact points between the base potion and top portion and a mechanism that detects movement between one or more of the three or more contact points.
