Mechanical Design and Evaluation of a Selectively-actuated MRI-compatible Continuum Neurosurgical Robot

The combination of a dexterous continuum robot and magnetic resonance imaging can potentially improve surgical precision and minimize brain manipulation in a minimally invasive neurosurgical procedure. In this work, a seven degree-of-freedom (DoF) continuum neurosurgical robot was developed. The mai…
