ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM WITH INSTRUMENT BAILOUT AND LOCKOUT FEATURES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092571 titled 'ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEM WITH INSTRUMENT BAILOUT AND LOCKOUT FEATURES
The apparatus described in the patent application includes an end effector, a shaft assembly, an instrument base, and a bailout assembly. The instrument base has input assemblies that can engage with the output assembly of a robotic arm. The bailout assembly consists of an actuating body and a driving assembly. The actuating body can move relative to the instrument base from a pre-bailout position to an engaged position and finally to a bailout position. The driving assembly can move from a first position to a second position to disengage the output assembly of the robotic arm from the input assembly of the instrument base when the actuating body moves from the engaged position to the bailout position. The driving assembly remains in the first position while the actuating body is in the pre-bailout position.
- The apparatus includes an end effector, shaft assembly, instrument base, and bailout assembly.
- The instrument base has input assemblies that can engage with the output assembly of a robotic arm.
- The bailout assembly consists of an actuating body and a driving assembly.
- The actuating body can move between pre-bailout, engaged, and bailout positions relative to the instrument base.
- The driving assembly can disengage the output assembly of the robotic arm from the input assembly of the instrument base when the actuating body moves into the bailout position.
Potential Applications: - Medical procedures - Industrial automation - Research and development in robotics
Problems Solved: - Efficient disengagement of robotic arm from instrument base - Improved safety during operation

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in robotic arm technology, safety features in industrial operations, and automation systems.
Questions about Robotic Arm Disengagement Apparatus: 1. How does the actuating body in the bailout assembly function? 2. What are the potential risks associated with disengaging a robotic arm during operation?
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus includes an end effector, a shaft assembly, an instrument base, and a bailout assembly. The instrument base includes at least one input assembly capable of engaging an output assembly of a robotic arm. The bailout assembly includes an actuating body and a driving assembly. The actuating body is capable of actuating relative to instrument base from a pre-bailout position, an engaged position, and a bailout position. The driving assembly is capable of actuating from a first position toward a second position to drive the output assembly of the robotic arm out of engagement with the at least one input assembly of the instrument base in response to the actuating body actuating from the engaged position into the bailout position. The driving assembly remains in the first position while the actuating body is in the pre-bailout position.
