As one of the effective closed-loop control methods, visual servoing control methods are widely applied to continuum robots. However, existing visual servoing control methods mostly focus on accurate control of the robot’s end-effector, with less consideration given to the robot’s shape. In this wor
Ensuring both mobility and stability during colonoscopy is crucial for enhancing procedural efficiency and reducing the risk of complications. Traditional colonoscopy robots face challenges due to the fixed diameter of the colonoscope and the variability in colon anatomy. To address this, we propose
Flexible endoscopes are commonly adopted in narrow and confined anatomical cavities due to their higher reachability and dexterity. However, prolonged and unintuitive manipulation of these endoscopes leads to an increased workload on surgeons and risks of collision. To address these challenges, this
Existing robotic endoscopes for laparoscopic surgery, predominantly rigid or limited in dexterity, occupy a large motion space1, The large occupied motion space necessitates large incisions and reduces the motion space for surgeons to simultaneously operate other surgical instruments. Meanwhile, sur…
