Curved trajectories in stereotactic neurosurgery: is it feasible?
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first application of curved cannulas for stereotactic neurosurgery in a comparable way to clinical practice. Further research will have to address incorporating iterative learning control of the robot's tip position to reach target point deviations below 1 mm.
