This work introduces a modular robotic platform designed to assist in nasotracheal intubation, a critical yet challenging procedure in clinical settings. While orotracheal intubation robots have seen significant development, nasotracheal intubation remains underdeveloped, particularly in terms of safety mechanisms. Our robot features a variable-stiffness fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) control module, enabling both low-stiffness mode for safe navigation through the nasal cavity and high-stiffness mode for enhanced load-bearing near the glottis. Additionally, a compact FOB feeding module with passive failure protection ensures controlled force application, minimizing risks during the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re grateful to our team (Ruoyi Hao<\/a>, Sam, Jiewen Lai<\/a>, Wenqi Zhong, Dihong Xie, Yu Tian, Tao Zhang<\/a>, Zhang Yang<\/a>, Catherine P. L. Chan, Jason Y. K. Chan, and Hongliang Ren<\/a>) for their dedication and to #ICRA<\/strong> for this opportunity to share our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking forward to discussing this with the robotics and medical communities!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
