    Abstract: Techniques for controlling grasping include a manipulator configured to be releasably coupled to an instrument, the instrument having an end effector comprising a first jaw and a second jaw; a drive system configured to apply a force or torque to the instrument to cause the end effector to grasp a material between the first jaw and the second jaw; and a processor. The processor is configured to monitor a force or torque applied by the drive system to cause the end effector to grasp the material and in response to a determination that the applied force or torque is below a lower limit of an acceptable range of force or torque, reverse a direction of the applied force or torque.

    Abstract: A surgical stapler system may include a surgical instrument comprising an end effector configured to receive a removable staple cartridge, and an actuation mechanism operably coupled to actuate the end effector to perform a stapling procedure. The surgical stapler system also may include a drive system operably coupled to transmit an actuation force to the actuation mechanism and a controller operably coupled to the drive system. The controller may be configured to measure an actuation force transmitted by the drive system to the actuation mechanism, and control continued transmission of the actuation force based on a comparison of the measured actuation force to a range defined from a minimum threshold actuation force to a maximum threshold actuation force.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling staple firing include a manipulator, a drive system, and a processor. The manipulator is configured to be releasably coupled to an instrument. The instrument has an end effector comprising a first jaw and a second jaw. The drive system is configured to apply a force or torque to the instrument to cause staple firing to occur using the end effector. The processor is configured to monitor a force or torque applied by the drive system to cause staple firing to occur and in response to determining that the applied force or torque is outside of an acceptable range of force or torque, maintain application of clamping by the first jaw and the second jaw while suspending application of the force or torque that causes the staple firing to occur.

    Abstract: A system comprises a surgical instrument comprising an end effector comprising a first jaw member and a second jaw member, the second jaw member comprising or being configured to receive a plurality of staples; and an actuation mechanism operably coupled to the end effector to actuate the end effector to perform at least one of a clamping procedure or a staple firing procedure. The system further comprises a drive system configured to drive the actuation mechanism, a controller operably coupled to the drive system, and a user interface operably coupled to the controller, which is configured to determine the clamping procedure or the staple firing procedure has failed based on a magnitude of an actuation force applied by the drive system to the actuation mechanism; and cause the user interface to output a failure indication indicative of the failure.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for detecting failure in clamping of a material and/or firing of a staple into a clamped material and indicating such failure to a user on a user interface. The system and methods are particularly suited for use with end effectors having closing and/or firing mechanisms coupled to an actuator. By monitoring a driving parameter of an actuator that effects the clamping and/or firing, the systems and methods provide an indication of failure in response to the monitored drive parameter. In some embodiments, an indication of failure is output when the monitored drive parameter is outside an acceptable range of desired driving parameters during clamping and/or firing. The disclosed systems and methods are particularly beneficial when used for minimally invasive surgery.
