What are some examples of soft robotic actuators used in medical robotics for minimally invasive surgery, and how do they provide dexterity, precision, and safety for performing complex surgical procedures with enhanced maneuverability, visualization, and tissue interaction?

Examples include soft robotic end-effectors, flexible catheters, and continuum manipulators integrated into surgical robotic systems. These actuators offer flexibility, compliance, and multi-degree-of-freedom motion, allowing surgeons to access confined spaces, navigate anatomical structures, and manipulate tissues with improved control and accuracy, minimizing trauma and enhancing patient outcomes in minimally invasive interventions.
