The ability to steer a needle around delicate or bony structures during needle insertion for targeting tumors is promising from the viewpoint of improving the effectiveness of needle insertion. In this letter, a novel flexible mechanism called “Active Sheath” is proposed for realizing shape-controllable cannulas by using only two flexible elements. Then, a steerable needle with an outer diameter of...
In this paper, we propose a novel continuum robot based on closed loop elastic structure with bending and twisting. The proposed continuum robot consists of an elastic tube and a closed loop arm completely independent from the tube. The closed loop arm is a simple thin belt-shaped elastic strip which has two translational joints and one rotary degree of freedom. Here we found that when the closed...
