This IREP clip is from the attached article/link below:

"Using stereo reconstruction methods, surgeons can also model the patient’s internal anatomy and register it with pre-operative CT, Ultrasound, or MRI scans.
The IREP’S unique mechanical architecture includes snake-like continuum robots with push-pull actuation, parallel linkages, and passively flexible actuation stems. It has also been designed as a platform for multi-modal use including energy and drug delivery and suction. This is achieved through the use of tubular access channels within each surgical arm."

1) Do we know if SPORT will have the ability to "model" internal anatomy.
2) Is drug delivery currently available is da Vinci?
