Modeling and experiments for a class of robotic endoscopes
Current developments in minimally invasive medical practice motivated this study of self-propelled, robotic endoscopes for deep penetration into curved physiological lumens. The conceptual design of such devices is applicable to endoscopy within a variety of lumens in the human body, e.g., blood ves...
