1. A surgical sensor anchor system for use in surgical procedures comprising:
a surgical robot for assisting with a surgical procedure;
a control system in communication with the surgical robot;
an electromagnetic tracking system in communication with the control system;
a surgical anchor including:
a distal portion configured to be temporarily inserted into a bone of a patient during the surgical procedure;
an electromagnetic sensor for sensing movement of the inserted distal portion in six degrees of freedom responsive to the electromagnetic tracking system;
wherein the control system tracks the sensed movement of the inserted distal portion from the electromagnetic sensor and generates feedback data for the surgical robot for use in adjustment of the surgical robot in real-time based on tracked movement of the inserted distal portion.
