By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Robotics is the subjec t of a report. According to news reporting from Beijing, People's Republic of Ch ina, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Tracheal intubation is the gold st andard of airway protection and constitutes a pivotal life-saving technique freq uently employed in emergency medical interventions. Hence, in this paper, a syst em is designed to execute tracheal intubation tasks automatically, offering a sa fer and more efficient solution, thereby alleviating the burden on physicians." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Tsinghua Univers ity, "The system comprises a tracheal tube with a bendable front end, a drive sy stem, and a tip endoscope. The soft actuator provides two degrees of freedom for precise orientation. It is fabricated with varying-hardness silicone and reinfo rced with fibers and spiral steel wire for flexibility and safety. The hydraulic actuation system and tube feeding mechanism enable controlled bending and deliv ery. Object detection of key anatomical features guides the robotic arm and soft actuator. The control strategy involves visual servo control for coordinated ro botic arm and soft actuator movements, ensuring accurate and safe tracheal intub ation. The kinematics of the soft actuator were established using a constant cur vature model, allowing simulation of its workspace. Through experiments, the act uator is capable of 90° bending as well as 20° deflection on the left and right sides. The maximum insertion force of the tube is 2 N. Autonomous tracheal intub ation experiments on a training manikin were successful in all 10 trials, with a n average insertion time of 45.6 s. Experimental validation on the manikin demon strated that the robot tracheal intubation system based on a soft actuator was a ble to perform safe, stable, and automated tracheal intubation."
