Flexible needles provide enhanced adaptability for navigating puncture pathways and avoiding obstacles when compared to conventional rigid needles. However, developing a three dimensional (3D) curved path for flexible needle is challenging, particularly in achieving both effective obstacle avoidance…

Hysteresis has posed significant challenges to the modeling and control of flexible endoscopic robots, which impedes the advancement of automated endoscopic operation. Despite numerous hysteresis modeling approaches aimed at improving accuracy, there are still several unresolved issues, such as inap…
This letter proposes an anti-interference targeted therapeutic delivery microrobot, where the targeted therapeutic delivery to the lesion site in human intestine can be operated by the external magnetic field. The robot is composed of a shell and a targeted delivery mechanism. Under the actuation of
For XYΘ-type flexure-based manipulators with nanometer accuracy, the coupled linear/angular motions of the end effector cause unwanted misalignments to the measurement system, leading to measurement error or even measurement failure. This paper proposes an indirect measuring method for such manipula…
