Abstract
Connector assemblies for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector are disclosed. An example apparatus for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector may include a connector housing. An actuation mechanism may be disposed within the connector housing. The actuation mechanism may include a plurality of linkage members and a gear assembly coupled to the linkage members. Each of the plurality of linkage members may be configured to shift between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. At least one of the plurality of linkage members may include a first linkage member having an end region. A roller member may be disposed adjacent to the end region of the first linkage member. An actuator may be coupled to the actuation mechanism.
