Abstract: Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed for stabilizing a cart. An example cart is a surgical cart having a robotic arm thereon. A stabilizer system may be part of or used with the cart to stabilize the cart at a location. The stabilizer system may include a stabilizer and an actuator. The stabilizer may have a foot and a biaser configured to bias the foot to a retracted position and contribute to an amount of force applied to a floor supporting the cart when the foot is in a deployed position. The actuator acts on the stabilizer to overcome a bias force biasing the stabilizer to the retracted position and cause feet of the stabilizer to contact the floor. Once the feet of the stabilizer contact the floor, a spring of the biaser causes the foot to apply a predetermined force amount to the floor.

Abstract: Medical devices and connector assemblies for connecting medical devices are disclosed. An example connector assembly for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector may include a plate configured to be coupled to a robotic arm. The plate may have a connection region that includes a flange defining a circumferential groove. The connector assembly may also include an attachment assembly having an attachment region configured to be detachably secured to the connection region with a securing distance of less than 12 millimeters. The attachment region may include one or more engagement members that are configured to shift between an unsecured position and a secured position where the engagement members are secured to the connection region. An actuator may be coupled to the attachment assembly for shifting the one or more engagement members between the unsecured position and the secured position.
