ABSTRACT

Systems and methods for an actuating needle manipulator with multiple degrees
of freedom that can include a translational mechanism; a remote center of
motion (RCM) mechanism coupled to a distal end of the translational mechanism;
a needle insertion mechanism coupled to the distal end of the RCM mechanism; a
set of actuation couplers that are coupled to the translational mechanism and
the RCM mechanism for integration with at least four degrees of freedom; and
an insertion actuation coupler coupled to the needle insertion mechanism.
