Abstract

BACKGROUND: Robotic-assisted cardiovascular interventional surgery is an effective means to reduce the exposure of X-ray radiation to surgeons. However, some of the existing design structures cannot meet the surgical requirements for the coordinated delivery of multiple instruments or lack force sensing function.
