1. A system for performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures comprising:
- a first robotic arm;
a first instrument device manipulator including a plurality of actuators;
a first mechanism changer interface including;
a first portion coupled to the first instrument device manipulator;
a second portion coupled to the first robotic arm, the second portion configured to removably couple to the first portion; and
an electrical interface, the first instrument device manipulator being configured to manipulate a removably attached instrument coupled to the first instrument device manipulator by operating the plurality of actuators using control signals received from the first robotic arm via the electrical interface.

Abstract
An endolumenal robotic system provides the surgeon with the ability to drive a robotically-driven endoscopic device to a desired anatomical position in a patient without the need for awkward motions and positions, while also enjoying improved image quality from a digital camera mounted on the endoscopic device.
