Design and development of a flexible continuum robot for laparoscopic surgery applications
The goal of minimally invasive surgery is to interact with tissue deep inside the body while minimizing collateral damage to surrounding tissues. Conventional surgical robots consist of straight rigid shafts and thus cannot assume 3D curves inside the body that could ultimately lead to enhanced safe...
