Bronchoscopy is a critical procedure for diagnosing and treating pulmonary diseases, but its safe and effective execution demands substantial operator training. Insufficient experience is associated with higher complication rates, including bleeding, pneumothorax, and bronchospasm. Existing assessme…
Navigational bronchoscopy is critical for pulmonary interventions, yet current platforms depend heavily on pre-operative CT or external sensors, limiting their use in critical care and resource-constrained settings. Vision-only navigation offers a scalable alternative, but conventional visual odomet…
Continuum robots are advancing bronchoscopy procedures by accessing complex lung airways and enabling targeted interventions. However, their development is limited by the lack of realistic testing environments: Real data is difficult to collect due to ethical constraints and patient safety concerns,…
