Abstract:
Various exemplary methods, systems, and devices for causing end effector motion with a robotic surgical system are provided. In general, a surgical tool can be configured to releasably and removably couple to a robotic surgical system. The robotic surgical system can include two motors configured to provide torque to the surgical tool to drive one single function of the surgical tool. In at least some embodiments, at least one of the two motors configured to cooperate with another motor to drive the single function of the surgical tool can be configured to drive a second function of the surgical tool.

Claim (Index 16):
A surgical method, comprising:\n actuating a plurality of motors of a tool driver of a robotic surgical system and thereby simultaneously drive more than one of a plurality of drive disks of the tool driver, the driving of the more than one of the plurality of drive disks causing performance of a single function of an end effector of a surgical tool among of plurality of possible functions of the end effector, the surgical tool including a proximal housing releasably and replaceably coupled to the tool driver, and the surgical tool including an elongate shaft extending distally from the proximal housing and having the end effector at a distal end thereof.
