Wireless and Gentle Medical Soft Miniature Robot for Intestine Endoscopy
Project Description
This project focuses on designing, manufacturing, and testing a wireless, soft, miniature robot for intestinal applications. It aims to tackle the scientific challenge of balancing sufficient force for effective locomotion within the dynamic and delicate physiological environment of the intestine, while minimizing potential adverse effects. The outcomes of this research are expected to revolutionize current endoscopic procedures within the gastrointestinal tract by enabling enhanced screening, diagnosis, and treatment capabilities.
