Robotic Capsule Endoscope
- [video:https://youtu.be/BlocrbC7kus]Abstract: While in vivo robotic locomotion has demonstrated its potential through a number of means, sensing and closed-loop control for such devices has not been at the forefront of research. By enabling
- Abstract: Place recognition, or loop closure detection, is an essential component to address the problem of visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). Long-term navigation of robots in outdoor environments introduces new challenges to
- [video:https://youtu.be/FmeW5ITtJ4Y] Abstract: Goal: Development of a new medical device class generally termed robotic capsule endoscopes (RCE) is currently being pursued by multiple research groups. These maneuverable devices will allow
- Abstract: Wireless capsule endoscopes are becoming prevalent in the medical field as screening, diagnostic and therapeutic tools within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, state-of-the art capsules lack active locomotion systems, which
- [video:https://youtu.be/GjCXfzv7nxg] Abstract: While colorectal cancer (CRC) is a treatable disease with a relative five-year survival rate of 90% if detected in the early and localized stage, it remains the third leading cause of cancer deaths
- Abstract: The state-of-the-art technology for gastrointestinal (GI) tract exploration is a capsule endoscope (CE). Capsule endoscopes are pill-sized devices that provide visual feedback of the GI tract as they move passively through the patient
