Summary: | Devices, systems, and methods are provided for control over automated movement of catheters and other elongate bodies. Fluid and/or pull-wire drive systems can be used to provide robotically coordinated lateral bending motions and a processor of the system can generate synchronized actuator drive signals to move the tool along an at least partially laterally constrained path, with the path optionally extending along the axis of a virtual model of the catheter that has been driven in silico into alignment with a target tissue adjacent an open workspace such as an open chamber of the heart. |
