This contribution presents the authors' activity in the field of miniaturized robots for surgical and diagnostic tasks with an endoluminal or a minimally invasive approach. Robotic capsules for diagnostic purposes in the gastrointestinal tract and endoluminal or transluminal robot concepts with bimanual abilities for surgical tasks will be presented, by highlighting the peculiarities of both approaches...
We present design and experimental performance results for a novel mechanism for robotic legged locomotion at the mesoscale (from hundreds of microns to tens of centimeters). The new mechanism is compact and strikes a balance between conflicting design objectives, exhibiting high foot forces and low power consumption. It enables a small robot to traverse a compliant, slippery, tubular environment,...
This paper presents a biomechanical model of the semicircular canals of the human vestibular system and the design of a 3D biomimetic structure that mimics the biological system. Starting from anatomical and physiological data, mechanical and structural parameters have been identified and a mathematical model has been formulated, by considering the semicircular organ as a canal filled by a liquid...
