Continuum and snake-like hyper-redundant robots perform circular bending motions, enable them to navigate obstacles and operate in confined spaces, making them ideal for applications such as industrial inspection and minimally invasive surgery. However, their performance often diminishes at the dist
Ultrasound (US) imaging has been widely utilized for guiding puncture procedures in spinal interventions. However, conventional methods that confine puncture within the US plane may not adequately meet the demands of endoscopic spinal surgery (ESS), which requires extensive spatial orientation adjus
Robot-assisted ultrasound scanning acquires spatial-property labeled images under high consistency, holding the potential to reconstruct the volume with more intuitive images for examination and surgery guidance. Promisingly, the vertebral level identification, as a time-consuming procedure before s
