Abstract
Systems and subsystems for using a robotic instrument are disclosed. The method includes engaging a first closure input puck with a first closure robotic output. The method includes rotating the first closure robotic output to cause the first closure input puck to rotate. The method includes rotating a cam gear via the rotation of the first closure input puck. Rotation of the cam gear causes a yoke pin to track through a cam track in the cam gear, and the yoke pin is coupled to a closure tube. Tracking of the yoke pin through the cam track causes the yoke pin to translate from a first position to a second position, thereby translating the closure tube.
