Patent attributes
A surgical system is disclosed comprising a robotic system comprising an interface portion, an end effector, a housing, a latching arrangement, and a drive system. The end effector is configured to perform a first action in response to a first actuation motion and a second action in response to a second actuation motion. The drive system comprises a drive assembly configured to generate a rotary control motion, a drive transmission, and a motor. The drive transmission applies the first actuation motion to the end effector in response to the rotary control motion when the drive transmission is in a first position. The drive transmission applies the second actuation motion to the end effector in response to the rotary control motion when the drive transmission is in a second position. The motor is configured selectively shift the drive transmission between the first position and the second position.
