Minimally invasive surgery requires real-time tool tracking to guide the surgeon where depth perception and visual occlusion present navigational challenges. Although vision-based and external sensor-based tracking methods exist, fibre-optic sensing can overcome their limitations as they can be integrated directly into the device, are biocompatible, small, robust and geometrically versatile. In th...
