Herein, recent advances, current limitations, and open challenges in the design, modeling,
and control of continuum robots are discussed. Thanks to their lean bodies, these robots …

The magnetic field has unique advantages in manipulating miniature robots working inside
the human body, such as high transparency to biological tissue and good controllability for …

Continuum robots are not constructed with discrete joints but, instead, change shape and
position their tip by flexing along their entire length. Their narrow curvilinear shape makes …

In recent years, magnetism has gained an enormous amount of interest among researchers
for actuating different sizes and types of bio/soft robots, which can be via an electromagnetic …

The use of magnetic fields and field gradients to move magnetic material and devices within
the human body has a surprisingly long history. Over the past two decades, there has been …

Surgical robots have been widely adopted with over 4000 robots being used in practice
daily. However, these are telerobots that are fully controlled by skilled human surgeons …

Flexible colonoscopy remains the prime mean of screening for colorectal cancer (CRC) and
the gold standard of all population-based screening pathways around the world. Almost …

Deformation of flexible electronics can lead to reconfigurable electrical properties,
controllable deployment, and tunable working modes, but approaches to actuate flexible …

Colorectal cancer remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States.
Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically computer aided detection and computer …

Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy is considered the gold standard for the diagnosis and
removal of colonic polyps. Delays in colonoscopy following a positive fecal immunochemical …
