Abstract: In recent years, the field of bronchoscopic robot technology has emerged as a highly promising advancement in the realm of medical technology. While traditional bronchoscopy has proven to be effective, its complexity poses challenges in achieving the desired level of precision for detecting and treating lung tissue and lesions. Navigation-guided bronchoscopy aimed to address these limitations, but further advancements were necessary to enhance accuracy and effectiveness. Bronchoscopic robot technology tackles these challenges by integrating robotics and imaging sensors. By utilizing robotic arms and advanced image sensors, bronchoscopic robots enable highly precise detection and treatment of lung tissue and lesions. The inherent flexibility and precision of this technology empower doctors to exert precise control over the robotic arms, facilitating accurate localization of lung lesions, performing delicate biopsies, and conducting minimally invasive surgical procedures. This paper provides a comprehensive summary of the current development status and key technologies involved in bronchoscopic robot technology. Firstly, it analyzes the application status of bronchoscopic robot technology in clinical diagnosis and treatment. It examines how this technology is currently being employed and the impact it has on improving the accuracy and effectiveness of medical procedures. Secondly, the paper delves into the technical principles that underpin bronchoscopic robot technology, offering a detailed exploration of mechanism design, navigation methods, and control systems. By understanding the intricacies of these technical aspects, researchers and medical professionals can gain insights into the inner workings of the technology and identify areas for further improvement. Moreover, the paper sheds light on the current industrialization status of bronchoscopic robots, providing an overview of the progress made in translating this technology into practical applications. This assessment of the current state of industrialization serves to gauge the readiness of bronchoscopic robot technology for widespread adoption and integration into clinical practices. Finally, the paper looks towards the future by presenting research directions and development trends. The integration of lesion navigation, biopsy, on-site confirmation, and immediate treatment to create a comprehensive bronchoscopic diagnosis and treatment platform is one of the important development trends. Additionally, the combination of artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies is anticipated, aiming to elevate the intelligence of the robot and provide even greater support in the diagnosis and treatment of chest diseases. By summarizing the development status and key technologies, this paper offers valuable insights into the field of bronchoscopic robot technology. It highlights the immense potential of this technology to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases, ultimately leading to more accurate diagnoses, less invasive procedures, and improved patient outcomes.
