Abstract: Systems and subsystems for cutting and stapling tissue are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for attachments for robotic surgeries. The disclosed technology includes a housing for a surgical instrument configured to engage with a robotic arm. The housing comprises a first opening positioned to be engaged with at least a portion of a robotic arm, a second opening positioned proximate a rod extending from within the housing; and a fluid management system positioned within the housing proximate one of the first opening or the second opening, the fluid management system being configured to hold or divert fluid within the housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that generates a vector graphic image from a modified diffusion curve. Furthermore, the disclosed systems generate Monte Carlo rendering color estimates for corresponding subpoints of an image of a three-dimensional digital scene. Moreover, the disclosed systems generate Monte Carlo PDE color estimates for corresponding subpositions within a target image of the three-dimensional digital scene by using Monte Carlo PDE model parameterized by a diffusion curve. Further, the disclosed systems generate a modified diffusion curve from the diffusion curve by comparing the Monte Carlo rendering color estimates with the Monte Carlo PDE color estimates. From the modified diffusion curve, the disclosed systems generate the vector graphic image of the three-dimensional digital scene.

Abstract: Systems and subsystems for cutting and stapling tissue are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for attachments for robotic surgeries. The surgical instrument is a robotic attachment. The surgical instrument includes a closure subsystem, an articulation subsystem, a roll subsystem, and a transection subsystem that are operable independently of each other.

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.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for robotic surgeries. The surgical instrument is a robotic attachment that includes an articulation subsystem comprising a rotatable shaft, a distal channel retainer coupled to an end effector that is pivotable about an articulation pivot point, an articulation bushing slidable between a proximal position and a distal position, an articulation rod extending distally from the articulation bushing and coupled at a distal end to the distal channel retainer; and a rack movable with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rotatable shaft. Movement of the rack with respect to the longitudinal axis imparts an axial force onto the articulation bushing moving the articulation bushing between the proximal position and the distal position. Movement of the articulation bushing between the distal position and the proximal position actuates the articulation rod causing the distal channel retainer to pivot about the articulation pivot point.

Abstract: Systems and subsystems for articulating an end effector of a stapler are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for attachments for robotic surgeries. The surgical instrument is a robotic attachment. The surgical instrument includes an articulation subsystem that moves independently of other subsystems that are operable independently of each other.

Abstract: Systems and subsystems for cutting and stapling tissue are disclosed. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to systems, devices, and subsystems for attachments for robotic surgeries. The surgical instrument is a robotic attachment including a roll subsystem. The roll subsystem comprises a rotatable shaft having a longitudinal axis, a roll input puck engageable with a roll robotic output, a worm gear coupled to and rotatable by the roll input puck, and a worm follower coupled to the rotatable shaft. Rotation of the roll input puck causes the worm gear to rotate the worm follower and thereby roll the rotatable shaft about its longitudinal axis.

Movement of the yoke pin from the first position to the second position translates the closure tube distally onto an anvil ramp of an anvil.
