Abstract

Many different types of endoscopy robot have been developed or are under development. Some of these innovative biotechnologies are dedicated to complex endoscopic procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection whereas others are purely diagnostic. In endoscopy robotics, there are still several problems that need a solution. These problems basically concern robotic locomotion and instrument control, as well as clinical application. Flexible robotic endoscopic platforms are divided into four categories as follows: robot-assisted flexible endoscopy for maneuvering, robotic flexible endoscopy with therapeutic functions, active flexible colonoscopy, and active capsule endoscope. A thorough literature analysis was performed to assess the current status of robotic flexible endoscopic platforms designed for advanced endoluminal procedures.
