A Flexible Magnetically Controlled Continuum Robot Steering in the Enlarged Effective Workspace with Constraints for Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery

Abstract

Magnetic Continuum Robots In article number 2000211, Niandong Jiao, Lianqing Liu, and co-workers propose a method of steering a miniaturized flexible magnetic continuum robot in the enlarged workspace of the electromagnetic navigation system. This method can greatly enlarge the effective workspace, and aims to expand the application of the magnetic continuum robot for retrograde intrarenal surgery.
