![]() Title:EndoVine: Soft Robotic Endoscope for Colonoscopy Authors:Ameya Pore, Nicola Piccinelli, Giacomo De Rossi, Matteo Piano, Daniele Meli, Diego Dall'Alba, Riccardo Muradore and Paolo Fiorini Conference:HSMR2022 Tags:Colonoscopy, Low cost surgical robots, Natural orifice Endoluminal procedures, Pressure driven robot and Soft robotics Abstract: Colonoscopy is the gold standard examination procedure for screening colorectal cancer (CRC). In this abstract, we present an Endoscopic Vine robot (EndoVine) designed for colonoscopy with a novel retraction mechanism. EndoVine comprises a double inverted soft inflatable sleeve that propels the tip using internal pneumatic propulsion. For routine screening, the intrusive nature of the intervention, the rigidity of the device and the lack of intuitiveness in steering can make the experience highly unpleasant due to tissue stretching, perforation caused due to rigid instruments. Vine robots take a flexible film as body material and air pressure as input power to propel forward.
