Design of 3D-Printed Flexible Joints With Presettable Stiffness for Surgical Robots
Continuum manipulators have been widely used in minimally invasive surgery due to their high dexterity. However, different surgeries have different stiffness and dexterity requirements. This paper describes a continuum manipulator for robot-assisted surgery. The flexible part is a joint that can be...
