1. A robotic surgery system for preparing a humerus to receive a shoulder implant, the robotic surgery system comprising:
a robotic manipulator;
a cutting tool to be coupled to said robotic manipulator;
a localizer configured to track movement of said cutting tool and the humerus; and
a controller coupled to said robotic manipulator and said localizer, said controller configured to operate said robotic manipulator to control movement of said cutting tool relative to the humerus based on a virtual object that defines a volume of material to be removed from the humerus to receive the shoulder implant,
wherein said controller is further configured to:
determine positions of a plurality of landmarks on the humerus;
define a virtual resection in a coordinate system based on the plurality of landmarks; and
define said virtual object in the coordinate system based on a location of the virtual resection.
