What is Laparoscope

Chapter 13
Modeling, Simulation, and Control of AI Robotics and Autonomous Systems
A laparoscope is a minimally invasive surgical instrument equipped with a thin, flexible tube and a tiny camera that allows surgeons to visualize the inside of the abdominal or pelvic cavity. It is inserted through small incisions, enabling procedures like gallbladder removal, appendectomy, and exploratory surgery with reduced scarring and shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. The camera transmits real-time images to a monitor, guiding surgeons during the procedure, and offering a detailed view of the organs and tissues.

Abstract
the bio-inspired compound continuum robot represents a groundbreaking innovation in the realm of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Drawing inspiration from the flexibility and adaptability observed in nature, this robotic system employs a novel approach to navigating complex anatomical structures with enhanced precision. Mimicking the serpentine motion of snakes, the robot utilizes a compound continuum structure composed of interconnected segments. This design allows for unparalleled maneuverability, enabling the robot to navigate through confined spaces and intricate pathways within the human body. By emulating the biomechanics of natural organisms, the robot can reach anatomical locations that traditional rigid instruments might struggle to access. In this chapter, the authors will discuss the advanced biomimetic compound continuum robot for minimally invasive surgical applications.
