1. A robotic surgical system, comprising:

  • a first input device receiving an input command from a surgeon;

    a computer coupled to said first input device, said computer transmitting a packet of information corresponding to the input command, said packet including a priority data and a data field that contains robotic data;

    a second input device;

    a first robotic manipulator assembly including a first surgical end effector; and

    a network coupling the computer and the second input device to the first robotic manipulator so as to transmit the packet, the first input device having control of the surgical end effector in response to the priority data so that the first robotic manipulator moves per the robotic data and does not move in response to the second input device.
