A Miniature Continuum Robot with Integrated Piezoelectric Beacon Transducers and its Ultrasonic Shape Detection in Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgeries

IROS 2022poster

Minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) or natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgeries (NOTES) such as the transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) require the surgical robot to be miniaturized to perform surgical procedures in confined spaces. However, the surgical robot's tiny size poses…
