Abstract:Background: Suturing and knotting in Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) requires the robot not only to be able to work with multiple manipulators but also to have a high degree of dexterity. However, little attention has been paid to the design and enhancement of dexterity in multi-manipulated robots.
Methods:In this paper, the dexterity of a new dual-manipulator collaborative continuum robot in collaborative space is analyzed and enhanced. A kinematic model of the continuum robot was deve… Show more
