Anatomy-Aware Dexterity-Driven Design Optimization of Surgical Continuum Robots
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.30745v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Performing complex medical procedures with continuum robots requires careful selection of their geometric design parameters. The robot should have high dexterity in the specific anatomical environment of its procedure. This work presents a design optimization method that considers both dexterity and anatomy. We introduce the Reachable Volumetric Dexterous Solid Angle (RVDSA) metric as our objective, which measures the ability of a robot's end effector to reach the points in a goal volume from different directions via collision-free paths from a
