Abstract
A robotic system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a robot arm including a proximal end and a distal end, a mount flange rotationally connected to the robot arm at the distal end along a rotation axis, and an end effector interconnected to the mount flange via an attachment interface disposed between the mount flange and the end effector. The attachment interface fixedly arranges the end effector in one of at least two select positions. A first position of the at least two select positions orients a surgical tool axis of the end effector at a first angle relative to the rotation axis, and a second position of the at least two select positions orients the surgical tool axis of the end effector at a second angle relative to the rotation axis. The second angle is different from the first angle.
