Distal end of flexible bronchoscope using fiber reinforced soft actuator

Flexible bronchoscope (FOB) is a medical intervention instrument that provide distal end bending capability for inspecting respiratory airways. Although the use of the FOB is considered to be safe and easier, there are a major complication called pneumothorax which is a lesion on the surface of the...
