The development of robotic endoscopes is heading in the direction of intraluminal detection, but some features of the intestinal tract have hindered progress. This study aims to explore the frictional and viscous properties of the intestinal environment as encountered by expanding–extending robotic endoscopes in order to optimize the design of robotic endoscopy. Two models of intestinal deformation...
BackgroundThe robotic endoscope the advantage of active locomotion in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but lacks a suitable contact device to improve the locomotion efficiency and safety.
MethodsThis paper proposes a microgroove cushion for the robotic endoscope to improve its active locomotion ability in the GI tract. Coupons with different microgrooves were designed and tested to verify the contact...
BackgroundTraditional endoscopy may cause tissue trauma and discomfort to patients because of the use of relatively long and semi‐rigid scopes.
MethodsA wireless robotic endoscope has been designed based on minimally invasive locomotion and wireless techniques for energy, monitoring, and telecontrol.
ResultsThe robotic endoscope can move forward or backward effectively in a smooth synthetic glass...
