Abstract
Nowadays, laparoscopic surgery procedures face a trade-off between expensive, complex robotic systems and manual instruments with limited functionality. Fully robotic solutions offer precision but lack portability and intuitive control, while manual tools rely solely on the surgeon’s dexterity, limiting maneuverability and depth perception in confined spaces. To bridge this, we propose a Human-Guided Robotic-Assistance Handheld Continuum Medical Robot System (HRHC). This system simulates intuitive manual operation with robotic precision, extending the surgeon’s capabilities while maintaining portability. Additionally, a stereo vision system enhances real-time depth perception, improving spatial awareness in minimally invasive procedures.
