ENDOTHERANOSTICS

MULTI-SENSOR EVERSION ROBOT TOWARDS INTELLIGENT ENDOSCOPIC DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY

THE GROUP AIMS TO REVOLUTIONISE THE SCREENING AND TREATMENT OF CRC THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TIP-GROWING OR EVERSION ROBOT WITH A SLEEVE-LIKE STRUCTURE.
THE ROBOT WILL BE ABLE TO EXTEND DEEP INTO THE COLON WHILE PERCEIVING THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH MULTIMODAL IMAGING AND SENSING. IT WILL ALSO ACT AS A CONDUIT TO TRANSFER MINIATURIZED INSTRUMENTS TO THE REMOTE SITE WITHIN THE COLON FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY (THERANOSTICS).

With these capabilities, the system will be able to offer:
Painless colon cleansing in preparation for endoscopy
Real-time polyp detection and tissue characterization through AI-assisted multimodal imaging
Effective removal of polyps by conveying a “miniature mobile operating chamber” equipped with microsurgical tools to the target through the lumen of the eversion robot.
THE ROAD AHEAD FOR ENDOLUMINAL INTERVENTION.
