Zusammenfassung:	A surgical robot system includes a surgical robot having a robot base and a robot arm connected to the robot base. The surgical robot system further includes a joint manipulation arm configured to be attached to the robot arm and to be connected to an appendage of a patient and moved to apply force and/or torque to a joint connecting the appendage through movement of the robot arm. The surgical robot system further includes force and/or torque sensor apparatus configured to output a feedback signal providing an indication of an amount of force and/or torque that is being applied to the robot arm and/or the joint manipulation arm. At least one controller is configured to determine ligaments balancing at the joint based on a plurality of measurements of the feedback signal, and to output information characterizing the ligaments balancing.
