Background
Complex intraluminal surgical interventions of the gastrointestinal tract are challenging due to the limitation of existing instruments. Our group has developed a master–slave robotic flexible endoscopic platform that provides instrument triangulation in an endoluminal environment.
Materials and Methods
Colonic endoscopic submucosal dissections (ESD) were carried out in eight pigs. The...
STRAS (Single access Transluminal Robotic Assistant for Surgeons) is a flexible robotic system based on the Anubis® platform of Karl Storz for application to intraluminal procedures. It consists of three cable-driven systems, one endoscope serving as guide and two inserted instruments. The flexible and bendable instruments have three degrees of freedom and can be teleoperated by a single user via...
Stras is a flexible robotic system based on the Anubis® platform from Karl Storz and is aimed for intralu-minal and transluminal procedures. It is composed of three cable-driven sub-systems, one endoscope and two insertable instruments. The bending instruments have three degrees of freedom and can be teleoperated by the user via two commercial master interfaces (Omega.7, Force Dimension). In this...
In this paper we present a new robotic system, called STRAS, designed for endoluminal and transluminal surgery. The system is based on the Anubis® platform - a manual flexible system designed by Karl Storz for transluminal operations. Our new robot is a modular robotic system, compatible with the medical environment, allowing an easy setup in the operating room. It provides up to 10 Degrees of Freedom...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique. It is based on current induction in the brain with a stimulation coil emitting a strong varying magnetic field. Its development is currently limited by the lack of accuracy and repeatability of manual coil positioning. A dedicated robotic system is proposed in this paper. Contrary to previous approaches in the field, a...
