Continuum Surgical Robots

Continuum Surgical Robot is a type of surgical robot characterized by its flexible, backbone-less structure that enables smooth, continuous bending and elongation motions, distinguishing it from rigid-link and articulated robots through its intrinsic compliance and ability to navigate complex anatomical pathways with enhanced dexterity and minimal invasiveness.
