Abstract:
A surgical instrument for use with a robotic system that has a control unit and a shaft portion that includes an electrically conductive elongated member that is attached to a portion of the robotic system. The elongated member is configured to transmit control motions from the robotic system to an end effector.

Claim (Index 31):
A surgical instrument for use with a robotic system comprising a first rotatable driver and a second rotatable driver, said surgical instrument comprising:\n an end effector, comprising:\n a frame; \n an anvil rotatable relative to said frame between an open position and a clamped position, wherein said anvil rotates toward said clamped position in response to a clamping motion; \n a staple cartridge removably positioned in said frame; and \n an end effector frame; \n a shaft assembly, comprising:\n a longitudinal axis; \n an articulation joint defining a fixed axis of rotation, wherein said end effector is rotatable relative to said longitudinal axis about said articulation joint; \n a shaft frame rotatably connected to said end effector frame across said articulation joint; and \n a knife movable between an unfired position and a fired position, wherein said knife moves toward said fired position in response to a firing motion; and \n a control system, comprising:\n a cutting drive configured to provide said firing motion to said knife in response to the first rotatable driver of the robotic system; \n a shaft rotation drive configured to rotate said shaft assembly about said longitudinal axis in response to the second rotatable driver on the robotic system, wherein the rotation of said shaft assembly does not displace said cutting instrument within said shaft assembly, and wherein said cutting drive and said shaft rotation drive are separate and distinct; \n a clamping drive; and \n a shifting arrangement configured to shift the first rotatable driver between engagement with said cutting drive and said clamping drive, wherein said clamping drive is configured to provide said clamping motion to said anvil in response to the first rotatable driver of the robotic system when said shifting arrangement has engaged the first rotatable driver with said clamping drive.
