A robotic system for replacing a spent end effector component with a replacement end effector component is disclosed. The robotic system comprises a surgical end effector comprising an attachment portion. The robotic system further comprises an extraction system comprising a rotary extractor. The rotary extractor is configured to release the spent end effector component from the attachment portion of the surgical end effector when the spent end effector component in the surgical end effector is moved into engagement with the rotary extractor as the rotary extractor is rotated.
