The Company has built a flexible robot platform, which is a highly articulated multi-link robot, allowing minimally-invasive procedures to replace open surgical procedures for many parts of the anatomy that are otherwise difficult or previously impossible to reach.  

Our flexible robot platform includes on-board visualization and contains multiple open device channels to accept a variety of flexible surgical and interventional tools.  The robot enables physicians to operate through non-linear circuitous paths, self-supported, and through a single-site access into the body.

The flexibility and motion of the robot is gained from its numerous mechanical linkages with concentric mechanisms.  Each mechanism can be placed into a rigid or a flexible state.  By employing a patented "follow-the-leader" movement strategy with these alternating states (rigid or flexible), the robot can be directed into any shape through the relative orientations of its linkages.
