Abstract: A robotic electromechanical surgical instrument includes a housing, an elongated shaft that extends distally from the housing, a wrist assembly supported on the elongated shaft, an end effector coupled to the wrist assembly, cables coupled to the wrist assembly, and an electrical cable coupled to the end effector. The wrist assembly includes a first joint coupled to a second joint. The first joint includes a proximal segment defining an arcuate surface and a distal segment defining an arcuate surface. The electrical cable is positioned relative to the proximal arcuate surface and the distal arcuate surface such that during articulation of the wrist assembly the electrical cable rolls off of the distal arcuate surface as the electrical cable rolls on to the proximal arcuate surface and the electrical cable rolls off of the proximal arcuate surface as the electrical cable rolls on to the distal arcuate surface.

Abstract: An end effector is provided for use and connection to a robot arm of a robotic surgical system including a proximal hub, a distal hub, and a support hub. The distal hub is coupled to two opposing upright supports of the proximal hub about a first pivot axis. The support hub is coupled to two opposing upright supports of the distal hub about a second pivot axis. First and second drive members are coupled to opposing sides of the support hub and a third drive member is coupled to the distal hub. Simultaneous proximal translation of the first drive member and the second drive member causes the distal hub to pivot about the first pivot axis and proximal translation of only one of the first drive member or the second drive member causes the support hub to pivot about the second pivot axis.
