The flexible system is best suited for minimally invasive surgeries, and can slither down a patient’s throat to reach typically hard to access areas.

Equipped with a high-definition camera and a joystick controller, the Flex Robotic System allows surgeons to navigate non-linear regions of the anatomy and avoid obstacles.

The robotic OR assistant was first thought up in 2004 by Howie Choset, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute and co-founder of Medrobotics, Bloomberg reports.
