- Title: Novel Steerable Needle with Variable Stiffness Mechanism for Minimally Invasive Surgical Instrument
- Content: The research focuses on developing a continuous variable stiffness mechanism for continuum robots, utilizing anisotropic patterning, and applies this to steerable needle in order to control its movement while changing stiffness. The research succeeded in increasing stability and workplace of steerable needles. This mechanism is expected to be applied to various continuum robots as well as minimally invasive surgery robots.
