Claim 10:
11. A method for bailing out a surgical attachment attached to a surgical robot, the method comprising the steps of:
decoupling an actuator of the surgical robot from an input socket of the surgical attachment without displacing the surgical attachment relative to the surgical robot, wherein decoupling the actuator comprises pulling a pin of the surgical attachment to disengage a gear of the pin from a corresponding gear coupled to the input socket;
actuating a closure bailout of the surgical attachment in a first direction to open jaws of an end effector of the surgical attachment after the actuator of the surgical robot is decoupled from the input socket of the surgical attachment;
actuating the closure bailout of the surgical attachment in a second direction to close the jaws of the end effector of the surgical attachment after the actuator of the surgical robot is decoupled from the input socket of the surgical attachment, wherein a closure system of the surgical attachment is operable independently of the closure bailout, wherein the closure system is configured to open and close the jaws of the end effector when the actuator of the surgical robot is coupled to the input socket of the surgical attachment; and
detaching the surgical attachment from the surgical robot.
