What are some examples of soft robotic end-effectors used in minimally invasive surgery, and how do they provide dexterity, precision, and tactile feedback to surgeons for performing delicate procedures such as laparoscopy, endoscopy, or catheterization?

Examples include soft grippers, flexible manipulators, and steerable catheters designed for navigating confined spaces and manipulating tissues or instruments with minimal trauma. These end-effectors use compliant materials and advanced control algorithms to mimic the dexterity and tactile sensitivity of human hands, enabling surgeons to perform complex surgical tasks with enhanced precision and safety in minimally invasive procedures.
