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 …

Intraoperative MRI has been increasingly used to robotically deliver electrodes and
catheters into the human brain using a linear trajectory with great clinical success. Current …

Dual-arm continuum robots have been considered mainly for teleoperation, where human
perception and cognition permitted coordination, and collision-free motions. This letter …

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 …

Concentric tube robots (CTRs) show particular promise for minimally invasive surgery due to
their inherent compliance and ability to navigate in constrained environments. Due to …

Endovascular interventions aimed at treating conditions such as peripheral arterial disease
(PAD) or atherosclerosis often necessitate the use of guidewires to navigate catheters and …

Laser ablation of the hippocampus offers medically refractory epilepsy patients an
alternative to invasive surgeries. Emerging commercial solutions deliver the ablator through …

Although robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been widely investigated in
recent years, limited access to the surgical sites in children's small anatomic cavities with …

Purpose Patients with pharmacoresistant refractory epilepsy may require epilepsy surgery to
prevent future seizure occurrences. Conventional surgery consists of a large craniotomy with …
