By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originating from Washington, D.C., by NewsRx journalists, a patent application by the inventor FOURNIER, Bruno (SAINT OUEN, FR), filed on December 22, 2021, was made available online on February 15, 2024. No assignee for this patent application has been made. Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "A catheter robot has to perform translations of several flexible elongated medical elements. Those flexible elongated medical elements can include a catheter guide partially surrounding a catheter itself partially surrounding a guide of a catheter. Those translations have to be independent from one another, since those flexible elongated medical elements have to move independently from one another, at least sometimes. However, at some other times, at least some of those flexible elongated medical elements may have to move synchronously with one another. "According to a prior art, each flexible elongated medical element is translated by a translation device, most often one or more pairs of rollers, sometimes a pair of pads facing each other and clamping this flexible elongated medical element in between.
