1. A surgical system, comprising:

  • a tool driver configured to releasably and replaceably engage with a surgical tool having an elongate shaft with an end effector at a distal end of the elongate shaft, the tool driver including a plurality of motors and a plurality drive disks each configured to be simultaneously driven by at least one of the motors and thereby cause a single motion of the end effector, wherein the single motion includes any one of closing jaws of the end effector, translating a cutting element along the end effector, and rotating the end effector relative to the elongate shaft.
