A Survey of Transoral Robotic Mechanisms: Distal Dexterity, Variable Stiffness, and Triangulation

Robot-assisted technologies are being investigated to overcome the limitations of the current solutions for transoral surgeries, which suffer from constrained insertion ports, lengthy and indirect passageways, and narrow anatomical structures. This paper reviews distal dexterity mechanisms, variable...
