Advanced Biomimetic Compound Continuum Robot for Minimally Invasive Surgical Applications

摘要

the bio-inspired compound continuum robot represents a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Drawing inspiration from the flexibility and adaptability observed in nature, this robotic system employs a novel approach to navigating complex anatomical structures with enhanced precision. Mimicking the serpentine motion of snakes, the robot utilizes a compound continuum structure composed of interconnected segments. This design allows for unparalleled maneuverability, enabling the robot to navigate through confined spaces and intricate pathways within the human body. By emulating the biomechanics of natural organisms, the robot can reach anatomical locations that traditional rigid instruments might struggle to access. In this chapter, the authors will discuss the advanced biomimetic compound continuum robot for minimally invasive surgical applications.
