Abstract
In vivo inspection of the olfactory epithelium could lead to breakthroughs in neurosciences, but it can not be accessed today as it is located in a highly constrained area of the nasal cavity. To remedy this situation, a new concentric tube robot (CTR) geometry is proposed in this paper, designed to reach and perform an optical biopsy of the olfactory epithelium.
