Advancing Minimally Invasive Precision Surgery in Large Open Cavities with Robotic Flexible Endoscopy
Advancing minimally invasive precision surgery in large open cavities with robotic flexible endoscopy
This paper presents a robotic platform designed to enhance minimally invasive surgery in large open cavities by integrating a magnetically actuated flexible endoscope with teleoperated and semi-autonomous navigation. The system improves situational awareness through real-time visual reconstruction and is validated in an ovine model for fetoscopic laser coagulation.

Implications for data suppliers
RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.
- Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
- Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
