A system for robotically assisted manipulation of an implant, the system comprising: a drive head configured to engage an elongate member (141; 301) of the implant and robotically deliver and position the implant into a target implantation site, the drive head including: a housing including a first half and a second half, the first half coupled to the second half with a hinge, to enable the housing to receive the elongate member; a sheath including separable first and second portions associated respectively with the first and second halves of the housing, the separable first and second portions of the sheath forming a guide track configured to accommodate and channel the elongate member (141; 301) in a linear motion; and a coupling unit including a drive wheel and an idle wheel disposed respectively within the first and second halves of the housing, the coupling unit configured to translate the elongate member (141; 301) using the wheel within the guide track, in response to a motion control signal; a power system coupled to the coupling unit, the power system including a motor and motor control circuitry positioned within a case and configured to drive the drive wheel of the coupling unit; and a control console (120; 820) communicatively coupled to the power system, the control console including a controller circuit configured to generate the motion control signal, to robotically deliver and position the implant into the target implantation site, wherein the guide track includes a first longitudinal track portion and a second longitudinal track portion, the first longitudinal track portion defined by the first half of the housing and the second longitudinal track portion defined by the second half of the housing. a drive head configured to engage an elongate member (141; 301) of the implant and robotically deliver and position the implant into a target implantation site, the drive head including: a housing including a first half and a second half, the first half coupled to the second half with a hinge, to enable the housing to receive the elongate member; a sheath including separable first and second portions associated respectively with the first and second halves of the housing, the separable first and second portions of the sheath forming a guide track configured to accommodate and channel the elongate member (141; 301) in a linear motion; and a coupling unit including a drive wheel and an idle wheel disposed respectively within the first and second halves of the housing, the coupling unit configured to translate the elongate member (141; 301) using the wheel within the guide track, in response to a motion control signal; a housing including a first half and a second half, the first half coupled to the second half with a hinge, to enable the housing to receive the elongate member; a sheath including separable first and second portions associated respectively with the first and second halves of the housing, the separable first and second portions of the sheath forming a guide track configured to accommodate and channel the elongate member (141; 301) in a linear motion; and a coupling unit including a drive wheel and an idle wheel disposed respectively within the first and second halves of the housing, the coupling unit configured to translate the elongate member (141; 301) using the wheel within the guide track, in response to a motion control signal; a power system coupled to the coupling unit, the power system including a motor and motor control circuitry positioned within a case and configured to drive the drive wheel of the coupling unit; and a control console (120; 820) communicatively coupled to the power system, the control console including a controller circuit configured to generate the motion control signal, to robotically deliver and position the implant into the target implantation site, wherein the guide track includes a first longitudinal track portion and a second longitudinal track portion, the first longitudinal track portion defined by the first half of the housing and the second longitudinal track portion defined by the second half of the housing.
