Smaller, smarter, softer robotic arm for endoscopic surgery

Researchers have developed a hybrid rigid-soft robotic arm for endoscopes with integrated sensing, flexibility, and multiple degrees of freedom. This arm – built using a manufacturing paradigm based on pop-up fabrication and soft lithography – lies flat on an endoscope until it arrives at the desired spot, then pops up to assist in surgical procedures.
