Abstract

A surgical instrument for use in a robotic surgical system includes an end effector, a housing configured to be operably coupled to an instrument drive unit, a shaft extending distally from the housing, a tensegrity wrist assembly movably coupling the end effector to a distal end portion of the shaft, and articulation cables that adjust the pitch and yaw of the end effector relative to the shaft.

Claims (54)

1 . A surgical instrument of a surgical robotic system, the surgical instrument comprising:

a housing;

a shaft extending distally from the housing, the shaft having a distal end portion;

a tensegrity wrist assembly including:

a proximal coupler secured to the distal end portion of the shaft and having an extension extending distally relative to the distal end portion of the shaft;

a distal coupler secured to the end effector and having an arm extending proximally relative to the end effector; and

a link coupled to and extending between the extension of the proximal coupler and the arm of the distal coupler, wherein the link is configured to apply opposing axial forces on the proximal and distal couplers;

an end effector pivotably coupled to a distal end of the distal coupler of the tensegrity wrist assembly; and

a first pair of first and second articulation cables each having a proximal end portion operably coupled to an actuator, and a distal end portion secured to the end effector, such that the first pair of first and second articulation cables articulate the end effector relative to the shaft.

2 . The surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the extension of the proximal coupler has a distal end secured to a distal end of the link, and the arm of the distal coupler has a proximal end secured to a proximal end of the link.

3 . The surgical instrument according to claim 2 , wherein the distal end of the extension of the proximal coupler is in overlapping alignment with and distal of the proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler.

4 . The surgical instrument according to claim 3 , wherein the distal end of the extension of the proximal coupler and the proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler are positioned on a central longitudinal axis defined by the tensegrity wrist assembly.

5 . The surgical instrument according to claim 2 , wherein the distal end of the extension of the proximal coupler is coaxial with and distal of the proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler.

6 . The surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the link is a rigid or flexible rod defining a link longitudinal axis, wherein the link longitudinal axis extends in a proximal to distal direction and is positioned on a central longitudinal axis defined by the tensegrity wrist assembly.

7 . The surgical instrument according to claim 1 , wherein the proximal coupler includes:

a hub secured to the distal end portion of the shaft; and

the extension, the extension including first and second arms extending distally from the hub, the link having a distal end secured to a distal end of each of the first and second arms of the extension and prevented from moving proximally relative to the first and second arms of the proximal coupler.

8 . The surgical instrument according to claim 7 , wherein the distal coupler includes:

a hub secured to the end effector; and

the arm, the arm extending proximally from the hub of the distal coupler, the link having a proximal end secured to a proximal end of the arm and prevented from moving distally relative to the arm of the distal coupler.

9 . The surgical instrument according to claim 8 , wherein the hub of each of the proximal and distal couplers defines a first pair of first and second channels having the first pair of first and second articulation cables slidably positioned therein.

10 . The surgical instrument according to claim 9 , further comprising a second pair of first and second articulation cables, wherein the hub of each of the proximal and distal couplers defines a second pair of first and second channels having the second pair of first and second articulation cables slidably positioned therein.

11 . A surgical robotic system, comprising:

a surgical robotic arm;

an instrument drive unit configured to be supported on the surgical robotic arm; and

a surgical instrument configured to be coupled to and driven by the instrument drive unit, the surgical instrument including;

a housing configured to be attached to the instrument drive unit;

a shaft extending distally from the housing, the shaft having a distal end portion;

a tensegrity wrist assembly including:

a proximal coupler secured to the distal end portion of the shaft and having a pair of first and second arms extending distally relative to the distal end portion of the shaft;

a distal coupler secured to the end effector and having an arm extending proximally relative to the end effector; and

a link including a proximal end secured to a proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler, and a distal end secured to a distal end of each of the first and second arms of the proximal coupler, wherein the link is configured to apply opposing axial forces on the proximal and distal couplers;

an end effector pivotably coupled to a distal end of the distal coupler of the tensegrity wrist assembly; and

a first pair of first and second articulation cables each having a proximal end portion operably coupled to an actuator of the instrument drive unit, and a distal end portion secured to the end effector, such that the first pair of first and second articulation cables articulate the end effector relative to the shaft.

12 . The surgical robotic system according to claim 11 , wherein the distal end of each of the first and second arms of the proximal coupler is in overlapping alignment with and distal of the proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler.

13 . The surgical robotic system according to claim 11 , wherein the distal end of each of the first and second arms of the proximal coupler is coaxial with and distal of the proximal end of the arm of the distal coupler.

14 . The surgical robotic system according to claim 11 , wherein the link is a rigid or flexible rod defining a link longitudinal axis, wherein the link longitudinal axis extends in a proximal to distal direction and is positioned on a central longitudinal axis defined by the tensegrity wrist assembly.

15 . The surgical robotic system according to claim 11 , wherein the proximal coupler includes a hub defining a pair of channels having the first pair of first and second articulation cables slidably positioned therein, the first and second arms extending distally from the hub, wherein the distal coupler includes a hub defining a pair of channels having the first pair of first and second articulation cables slidably positioned therein, the arm extending proximally from the hub of the distal coupler.

16 . A surgical instrument of a surgical robotic system, the surgical instrument comprising:

a housing;

a shaft extending distally from the housing, the shaft having a distal end portion;

a tensegrity wrist assembly including:

a proximal coupler including:

a hub secured to the distal end portion of the shaft; and

an extension extending distally from the hub;

a distal coupler including:

a hub secured to the end effector; and

an arm extending proximally from the hub of the distal coupler; and
