Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for robotic surgeries. The surgical instrument is a robotic attachment that includes an articulation subsystem comprising a rotatable shaft, a distal channel retainer coupled to an end effector that is pivotable about an articulation pivot point, an articulation bushing slidable between a proximal position and a distal position, an articulation rod extending distally from the articulation bushing and coupled at a distal end to the distal channel retainer; and a rack movable with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable shaft. Movement of the rack with respect to the longitudinal axis imparts an axial force onto the articulation bushing moving the articulation bushing between the proximal position and the distal position. Movement of the articulation bushing between the distal position and the proximal position actuates the articulation rod causing the distal channel retainer to pivot about the articulation pivot point.
