摘要:
A robotic system for steerable tip endoscopes includes a support arm, an endoscope gripping assembly rotatably connected to the support arm by a rotation assembly, and a translation assembly operatively connected to the support arm. The endoscope gripping assembly is configured to grip any one of a plurality of differently structured endoscopes, the translation assembly is configured to move the support arm along a linear direction to thereby move an endoscope when held by the endoscope gripping assembly along an axial direction, and the rotation assembly is configured to rotate the endoscope along a longitudinal axis of rotation.
