Abstract:
A surgical system having an arm or elongate portion, the arm or elongate portion being bendable, articulated, reconfigurable and/or flexible such that the arm or elongate portion is steerable by bending, articulating, reconfiguring and/or flexing of the arm. The arm or elongate portion includes or is configured to receive at least one tool or load. The system includes one or more first and/or second location or position tracking systems that are configured to determine and/or track a location and/or position of one or more parts or a whole of the arm or elongate portion and/or the tool or load. The at least one first location or position tracking system is a non-optical or non-radiation based location or positioning tracking system. The second location or position tracking system is an optical or radiation based positioning system. The system includes or is configured to implement or configured to communicate with a navigation platform for facilitating navigation and/or operation of the system using the location and/or position obtained from the one or more first and/or second location or position tracking systems.
