Abstract
PURPOSE: Continuum robots (CRs) have been developed for maxillary sinus surgery (MSS) in recent years. However, due to the anatomically curved and narrow pathway of the maxillary sinus and the deformable characteristics of the CR, it is still a challenge to accurately approach the target in the sinus. Thus, the CR-assisted MSS demands further research, whether in robotic system design or in reliable motion control.
