Abstract
Certain aspects relate to articulating medical instruments and corresponding systems and techniques. An articulating medical instrument can include an elongated shaft having two shaft sections and a bending section positioned therebetween. The instrument can include an articulation handle positioned at a proximal end of the shaft, and one or motors positioned within the articulation handle and configured to articulate the first bending section. The instrument can also include an insertion handle coupled to the shaft that enables translation of the shaft relative to the insertion handle.
