    Abstract: Systems and methods for moveable element indication include a system. The system includes a robotic assembly configured to support an instrument and a processor. The instrument includes an end effector and a moveable element. The end effector includes a first jaw and a second jaw. The moveable element is moveable from a first position to a second position. The processor is configured to display, on a user interface display, an image of the instrument clamping a material using the first jaw and the second jaw; and superimpose, on the image, a visual indicator of a position of the moveable element relative to the end effector.

    Abstract: A surgical system includes methods and systems for damping vibrations. The damping of these vibrations can increase the precision of surgery performed using the surgical system. The surgical system can include one or several moveable set-up linkages. A damper can be connected with one or several of the set-up linkages. The damper can be a passive damper and can mitigate a vibration arising in one or more of the set-up linkages. The damper can additionally prevent a vibration arising in one of the linkages from affecting another of the set-up linkages.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling staple firing include an end effector including a first jaw and a second jaw holding staples, a drive system configured to apply a force or torque to cause staple firing to occur, and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor the applied force or torque and control application of the force or torque by the drive system based on a comparison of the applied force or torque to an acceptable range of force or torque. In some embodiments, the processor is further configured to determine one or more of a position of the first jaw and the second jaw or a displacement of the drive system and control application of the force or torque by the drive system based on one or more of the position of the first jaw and the second jaw or the displacement of the drive system.
