Optimization and demonstration of two types of spring-roll dielectric elastomer actuators for minimally invasive surgery

Resulting from the restricted size of incisions and confined surgical space, the existing rigid and slender minimally invasive surgery (MIS) instruments are inefficient in providing an optimum articulation to handle certain minimally invasive surgery tasks. Thus, developments of novel articulating a...
