Adjusting Tissue Puncture Omnidirectionally In Situ with Pneumatic Rotatable Biopsy Mechanism and Hierarchical Airflow Management in Tortuous Luminal Pathways

Botao Lin, Tinghua Zhang, Sishen Yuan, Tiantian Wang, Jiaole Wang, Wu Yuan +1

IROS 2025

In situ tissue biopsy with an endoluminal catheter is an efficient approach for disease diagnosis, featuring low invasiveness and few complications. However, the endoluminal catheter struggles to adjust the biopsy direction by distal endoscope bending or proximal twisting for tissue sampling within

Minimally Invasive Endotracheal Inside-Out Flexible Needle Driving System Towards Microendoscope-Guided Robotic Tracheostomy

Botao Lin, Sishen Yuan, Tinghua Zhang, Tao Zhang, Ruoyi Hao, Wu Yuan +2

ICRA 2025

Open tracheostomy (OT) is considered the traditional way and golden standard for treating airway obstruction patients. However, OT has many unavoidable drawbacks, including strict performing scenarios, significant scarring, and the risk of surgeon infection. Percutaneous dilation tracheostomy (PDT)

A Modular Lockable Mechanism for Tendon-Driven Robots: Design, Modeling and Characterization

Botao Lin, Jiaole Wang, Shuang Song, Bing Li, Max Q.-H. Meng

RA-L 2022

Surgical robots with variable stiffness can provide more stable configurations during minimally-invasive surgery.This letter presents a new design of modular lockable mechanism which can be used to change the stiffness of tendon-driven surgical robots. Locking and unlocking are simply actuated by pu
