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 …

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 …

Soft continuum robots (CRs) can be potentially applied in minimally invasive surgery due to
their slender continuously deformable bodies. However, miniaturization, dexterity, and …

Autonomous magnetic catheterization has become a promising technology for next-
generation minimally invasive cardiovascular surgery. In this article, a novel homocentric …

Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) has been shown to be effective in
improving surgeon capabilities, providing magnified 3D vision, highly dexterous surgical …

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype with high mortality and disability, and
there are no proven medical treatments that can improve the functional outcome of ICH …

Interventional surgical robots are widely used in neurosurgery to improve surgeons' working
environment and surgical safety. Based on the actual operational needs of surgeons' …

Magnetic catheter robots have great potential for application in minimally invasive surgical
interventions that require submillimeter soft catheters to be inserted into the body. Compared …

Endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery is a promising alternative to transcranial
approaches. However, standard instruments lack articulation, and thus, could benefit from …

Existing continuum robots still lack the necessary dexterity and manipulability to inspect and
operate in confined space with multiple obstacles. In this article, we propose a novel hybrid …
