Robotic bronchoscopy for early lung-cancer biopsy

Flexible robotic endoscope for peripheral lung biopsy — navigates the bronchial tree to reach nodules a manual scope can't, biopsies them, and supports diagnostic-to-therapeutic in one session. J&J acquired Auris for $3.4B in 2019; now part of J&J MedTech's robotics franchise alongside Ottava (general surgery) and Velys (orthopedics). 200+ US hospital installs.
