Abstract
A robotic surgical system includes a slide rail, a surgical instrument, and a robotic surgical assembly. The robotic surgical assembly is coupled to the slide rail and translatable along the slide rail between a first position and a second position. The robotic surgical assembly is coupled to the surgical instrument. The robotic surgical assembly, or a portion thereof, is configured to automatically rotate to a predetermined orientation relative to the slide rail when the robotic surgical assembly is disposed at the first position to enable the surgical instrument to be selectively uncoupled from the robotic surgical assembly.
