A system and method for controlling a mechanical arm comprises planning a desired path of a mechanical arm. An actual path segment of the mechanical arm is measured. An error is determined between the measured actual path segment and the planned desired path. A corrective force is applied to the mechanical arm based on the determined error to conform to the desired path.
