Closed-Loop Control of Steerable Balloon Endoscopes for Robot-Assisted Transcatheter Intracardiac Procedures
RA-L 2026
To move away from open-heart surgery towards safer transcatheter procedures, there is a growing need for improved imaging techniques and robotic solutions to enable simple, accurate tool navigation. Common imaging modalities, such as fluoroscopy and ultrasound, have limitations that can be overcome
