Zusammenfassung:A coupler assembly for selective connection of a surgical instrument to a robotic arm is provided. The coupler assembly includes a stationary hub and a rotation hub. The stationary hub has a first mating feature and is secured to a first one of the surgical instrument and the robotic arm. The rotation hub includes a support member and rotation member mounted on the support member. The support member is secured to a second one of the surgical instrument and the robotic arm. The rotation member is rotatable relative to the support member between a first state and a second state. The rotation member has a second mating feature that releasably couples to the first mating feature of the stationary hub as the rotation member rotates relative to the stationary hub.
