With early sign of bowel cancer being changes in affected lesions biomechanical properties, an AI-assisted dynamic tissue evaluation is proposed for early bowel cancer diagnosis. Dynamic signals from a self-propelled vibrational capsule in contact with in-situ bowel lesions were processed and analys
Uptake of capsule endoscopy in the large intestine has been very limited due to both the risk of missed lesions and the often prolonged transit time, making it an unviable alternative to standard colonoscopy. In this letter, we presented a controllable and easy-to-use diagnostic tool, equipping a no
This paper presents a novel design and experimental investigation for a self-propelled capsule robot that can be used for painless colonoscopy during a retrograde progression from the patient's rectum. The steerable robot is driven forward and backward via its internal vibration and impact with orie…
