Advancing Minimally Invasive Precision Surgery in Open Cavities with Robotic Flexible Endoscopy
ArXiv.org · 2025-11-18
preprintOpen accessFlexible robots hold great promise for enhancing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) by providing superior dexterity, precise control, and safe tissue interaction. Yet, translating these advantages into endoscopic interventions within open cavities remains challenging. The lack of anatomical constraints and the inherent flexibility of such devices complicate their control, while the limited field of view of endoscopes restricts situational awareness. We present a robotic platform designed to overco…
