A team from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, led by Professors Ren Hongliang and Yuan Wu, has developed a helical brace that stabilizes robotic instruments during bronchoscopic procedures in breathing lungs. The device reduces tube displacement by 96% while maintaining airway patency. It was tested in simulated and in vivo pig models, showing effectiveness in bronchoscopic interventions and imaging. The study, published in Science Robotics, highlights the potential of the helical brace for clinical applications, though further research is needed before human use.
