Design and preliminary evaluation of a track-based robotic colonoscope with a shape-adaptable tip for propulsion

This paper introduces a shape-adaptable robotic endoscope design, which combines an expansion mechanism and external drive system that provide tip insertion force and adjust the tip shape and size to different colon diameters. Expansion rate of 53% has been achieved in the expandable tip size, which...
