Selectively Actuated Fiberbots for High-precision Minimally Invasive Surgery
Long, slender instruments are essential for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), but achieving precise distal manipulation becomes increasingly difficult when actuation extends along the entire instrument. Here, we present an electrothermally actuated fiber-based robot designed for MIS procedures, in which Joule heating i...
