Abstract: A control circuit for use with a robotic surgical system. The control circuit is configured to receive a parameter indicative of a rotary position of an articulation motor. The articulation motor is configured to drive an articulation joint of a robotic surgical tool, wherein the articulation motor is configured to move through a first range of positions and a second range of positions. The control circuit is further configured to implement a first operating state, and implement a second operating state when the parameter corresponds to a transition of the articulation motor from the first range of positions to the second range of positions. The control circuit is further configured to re-implement the first operating state when the parameter corresponds to a return of the articulation motor from the second range of positions into the first range of positions by a threshold anti-dither angle.

Abstract: A surgical system with clamp closure compensation includes a surgical instrument with a shaft assembly, an end effector, and a closure assembly. The shaft assembly has an articulation section configured to articulate to a selected articulation of a plurality of articulation configurations including a straight configuration and a plurality of predetermined articulated configurations. The end effector distally extends from the articulation section and has a first jaw and a second jaw movably secured relative to each other such that the first and second jaws are configured to selectively move from an open configuration to a first closed configuration. The closure assembly is operatively connected to the end effector and configured to urge the first and second jaws from the open configuration to the first closed configuration based at least on the selected articulation of the articulation section for adjusting tissue compression to compensate for the selected articulation.

Abstract: A surgical instrument. The surgical instrument has a force delivery system which communicates a changing force to a user of the surgical instrument when a limit of a surgical function is reached. A sensor senses position of a moving element to communicate a signal to the force delivery system. In various embodiments, the system generates a vibratory force to signal the user.

Abstract: A surgical tool includes a drive housing, a shaft extending from the drive housing, an end effector at an end of the shaft and having opposing jaws and a cutting element, and an unclamp lockout mechanism. The unclamp lockout mechanism including a pawl rotatably mounted to the shaft and positioned proximal to a closure yoke operatively coupled to the shaft, the pawl being pivotable between a stowed position, where the pawl is received within an aperture of the shaft, and a deployed position, where the pawl protrudes out of the aperture, and a biasing device that biases the pawl toward the stowed position. When the pawl is in the stowed position, the closure yoke is movable to a proximal position over at least a portion of the pawl to open the opposing jaws. When the pawl is in the deployed position, the closure yoke is prevented from moving to the proximal position.
