System and Technology of Breast Intervention Robot: A Review

Abstract

BACKGROUND: At present, breast cancer has become the cancer with the highest incidence rate in the world. Breast intervention robot is an important biopsy or targeted therapy method for breast diseases. METHOD: According to the robot's work requirements, the structure, actuation method, auxiliary device, and puncture planning method for the breast intervention robot are summarised. Based on the research status of intervention breast robots, the limitations of current research are discussed and the future development trends are proposed. RESULTS: The structure, actuation method, auxiliary device, and puncture planning method of breast robots have been widely studied. They significantly impact robotic intervention accuracy, stability, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: The development of breast intervention robots faces many challenges. With the continuous progress of science and technology, these challenges are expected to be addressed through multidisciplinary research. Breast intervention robots have adequate potential for treating and diagnosing breast diseases.
