1. A robotic surgical assembly, comprising:
a robotic arm;
a surgical drape;
a clip configured to couple the surgical drape to the robotic arm, the clip including:
a base portion configured for coupling to the robotic arm; and
a grasping portion extending from the base portion, the base portion and the grasping portion defining a cavity therebetween, wherein the base portion and the grasping portion are arranged to retain a quantity of the surgical drape in the cavity; and
an insert configured to couple to the clip, the insert including:
a top surface having a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom, the plurality of protrusions including a plurality of flanges extending from a surface thereof; and
a frictional bottom surface configured for contact with the surgical drape,
wherein a plurality of slots are defined through the clip, and wherein the plurality of slots are configured to receive the plurality of protrusions of the insert to couple the insert to the clip.
