Abstract
An apparatus for attaching a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the apparatus comprising: a clamp assembly configured to attach a cannula to a robotic surgical system, the clamp assembly comprising an actuator coupled to a clamp to transition the clamp between an open position configured to receive the cannula and a closed position to attach the cannula to the robotic surgical system; and a lock out assembly coupled to the clamp assembly to control the transition of the clamp, the lock out assembly having a hook that is dimensioned to engage a bearing coupled to the actuator when the clamp is in the open position and disengage the bearing to allow the clamp to automatically transition to the closed position.
