Описание к видео The Finalists of the KUKA Innovation Award 2019: Team RoboFORCE, colorectal cancer screening

The colonoscopy is a common procedure to detect bowel cancer in its early stages. This procedure offers major advantages. Nevertheless, it also has disadvantages such as the risk of perforation, pain and high costs. As an alternative, researchers from the universities of Leeds, Vanderbilt and Turin are developing a robot platform using a magnetic capsule which navigates through the bowels thanks to magnetic coupling with an external magnet on an LBR Med. To enhance safety and performance, the team uses the Roboception vision system and creates an external 3D map of the patient.
