The article describes the development of a steerable endoscope for laparoscopic surgery that can be easily miniaturized to a very small diameter, making it suitable for mass production. The tentacles of the squid provided the inspiration for the device's steerable mechanism, which is composed of standard parts such as cables, coil springs, rings, and tubes. |
