Continuum robots can traverse anatomical pathways to intervene in regions deep inside the
human body. They are able to steer along 3D curves in confined spaces and dexterously …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

Concentric tube robots (CTRs) have drawn significant research attention over the years,
particularly due to their applications in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Indeed, their small …

Magnetic continuum manipulators (MCMs) are a class of continuum robots that can be
actuated without direct contact by an external magnetic field. MCMs operating in confined …

A major advantage of surgical robots is that they can reduce the invasiveness of a procedure
by enabling the clinician to manipulate tools as they would in open surgery but through …

Owing to the curved and narrow pathway of the maxillary sinus, reaching blind regions using
rigid instruments in the traditional method of treatment is difficult. In this article, a novel …

The continuum robot is a new type of bionic robot which is widely used in the medical field.
However, the current structure of the continuum robot limits its application in the field of …

Objective: We aim to develop and evaluate an MR-conditional concentric tube robot for
intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) evacuation. Methods: We fabricated the concentric tube …

In the field of surgery, minimally invasive surgical robots (MISRs) have emerged as the
persistent pursuit of physicians to minimize harm and perform precise surgery. The structure …

We propose a new method for improving the stability of concentric tube robots. Prior work
sought to improve stability through laser-cut patterns that reduced, the ratio of flexural rigidity …
