Reviewer 2 Report
An excellent overview of the techniques and capabilities of robotic bronchoscopy. A very carefully prepared manuscript. It is full of specific technical information that is crucial in this particular case. It is also great that the information is presented objectively, impartially, and critically. Congratulations to the authors for their high-quality work. I have no critical comments.

Reviewer 3 Report
Ravikumar et al wrote a review on the recent advances in adjunct imaging platforms and protocols with navigational bronchoscopy.
1. Please kindly see if a clearer figure 5 can be included in the manuscript.
2. For ease of reading, please include the actual diagnostic yield improvement (if available) for the statement linked to Reference 26.
3. It might be beneficial to the non-expert readers to briefly introduce the differences between Ion & Monarch RAB platform before going into Section 3.2 & 3.3.
