摘要：
A robot for insertion of an elongate flexible medical instrument into a patient includes drive modules for driving the elongate flexible medical instrument in this patient. A drive module for an elongate flexible medical instrument transmits to the instrument a movement of translation and/or a movement of rotation which may be subject to a slack effect. The main aim of the invention is to reduce this slack effect by acting at several locations along the transmission chain between the distal end of the elongate flexible medical instrument, the last section to undergo the rotational movement originally imparted by the user at a human-machine control interface of the drive module. The advancement of the elongate flexible medical instrument is thus rendered more effective for the process of this advancement, safer for the patient, and more ergonomic for the practitioner who is the user of the elongate flexible medical instrument.
