Surgical approaches for tumour resection aim to minimise the sacrifice of healthy tissue while ensuring complete removal of the tumours to avoid recurrence. This is particularly challenging in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Miniaturized and precise robotic instruments that can manipulate diagnostic or therapeutic tools allow superior access and...

Introduction/Background Cervical cancer is a significant health concern, often requiring multiple visits and invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment. Our study proposes the integration of a revolutionary fiber-based robotic instrument with Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) technology to enhance diagnostic accuracy and s...

Precise manipulation of flexible surgical tools is crucial in minimally invasive surgical procedures, necessitating a miniature and flexible robotic probe that can precisely direct the surgical instruments. In this work, we developed a polymer-based robotic fiber with a thermal actuation mechanism by local heating along the sides of a single fiber....

Technologies that rely on the fundamental principle of thermal expansion have demonstrated high-precision, a growing demand in fields driven by miniaturization. However, scalable production of high aspect ratio devices that harness this capability while facilitating flexibility in design and functionality remains a challenge. We employed the high-t...
