Modeling and experimental analysis of wire-driven continuum surgical robot.

A new configuration of continuum surgical robot is proposed, whose skeleton is composed of inner and outer layers. The outer layer is composed of miniature rotating modules connected in series and connected by orthogonal hinges, which can ensure the ability to resist unconventional torsion without losing the degree of freedom. The inner layer is a central support column with superelasticity. When ...

A narrative review of the Medtronic Hugo RAS and technical comparison with the Intuitive da Vinci robotic surgical system.

Medtronic launched the Hugo Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) System in 2021, offering a modular alternative to the incumbent market leader in surgical robotics, the Intuitive da Vinci (dV) surgical system. A detailed technical review of the Hugo RAS was conducted to explore the strengths and weaknesses of this new robotic surgical system. Each component of the system-vision tower, arm cart, and surg...
