News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“Some surgical robotic systems include a console supporting a surgical robotic arm and a surgical instrumentor at least one end effector (e.g., forceps or a grasping tool) mounted to the robotic arm. The roboticarm provides mechanical power to the surgical instrument for its operation and movement. Each roboticarm may include an instrument drive unit operatively connected to the surgical instrument and coupled tothe robotic arm via a rail. In operation, the robotic arm is moved to a position over a patient and thenguides the surgical instrument into a small incision via a surgical trocar or a natural orifice of a patientto position the end effector at a work site within the patient’s body. The instrument drive unit drives arotation of each corresponding driven member of the attached surgical instrument to perform a surgicaltreatment. The instrument drive unit may be configured to articulate the end effector in a plurality ofdirections to adjust its pitch and/or yaw within a surgical site, to open/close jaw members, and/or to firefeatures thereof.”
