Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed an endoscopic manipulator and an active puncturing robot that mount computer assisted diagnosis and navigation systems based on “Computational Anatomy”. These devices have high resolution endoscope and are able to work regardless of high magnetic fields of magnetic resonance imaging devices. Animal experiments were performed and demonstrated the usefulness of our developed system. The improvements of sterilization policy or disposable parts policy will be necessary to adapt the developed system to clinical practices.
