Abstract: Tracheal intubation is the gold standard of airway protection and constitutes a pivotal life-saving technique frequently employed in emergency medical interventions. Hence, in this paper, a system is designed to execute tracheal intubation tasks automatically, offering a safer and more efficient solution, thereby alleviating the burden on physicians.
