Abstract

Increasingly more robots are used for various medical purposes, one of which is for intestinal inspection. A prototype robotic endoscope is presented along with a locomotion mechanism and relative experiment. Image, pH, pressure and temperature, etc. can be measured by the robot, which is very helpful in diagnoses. A wired robot will be replaced by a wireless robot because it is not comfortable for subjects and the wired robot cannot advance further into the small intestine because of too many folds and projections in the intestine. Key obstacles of the future wireless robot for intestinal inspection are discussed in detail and a reversed tracking method is provided.

摘要

越来越多的机器人被用于各种医疗目的，其中之一是用于肠道检查。本文介绍了一种原型机器人内窥镜及其运动机制和相关实验。该机器人可以测量图像、pH值、压力和温度等，这对诊断非常有帮助。有线机器人将被无线机器人取代，因为有线机器人让受试者感到不适，并且由于肠道内褶皱和凸起过多，有线机器人无法进一步进入小肠。详细讨论了未来用于肠道检查的无线机器人的关键障碍，并提供了一种反向跟踪方法。
