Disclosed is a robotic method for driving a catheter and a catheter guide, controlling a group of driving members and including: &#x2014;a first operating mode in which the group of driving members moves the guide forward in translation; a second operating mode in which the group of driving members turns the guide about itself, the method also including a third operating mode in which the group of driving members simultaneously moves the guide forward in translation and turns the guide about itself, alternating between one direction and another.

Robotic method for driving a catheter and a catheter guide

Disclosed is a movement transmission chain including: a base of a driving member for driving a movable element; and three actuators controlling the base of the driving member in three movement directions orthogonal to one another, by element of three interfaces with the base of the driving member, the mid-surfaces of the three interfaces intersecting in a central region of the base of the driving member.
