What is Automation Of Surgical Procedures: Colonoscopy Locomotion And Laparoscopic Suturing about?
The overall goal of this work is to minimize the invasiveness of traditionalcolonoscopy. Our locomotion approach takes advantage of longitudinal expansion ofa latex tube to propel the robot’s tip along the colon. In the preliminary ex-vivoexperiments, the robot successfully advanced 1.5 meters inside an excised curvilinearporcine colon with average speed of 28 mm/sec, and was capable of traversing bendsranging from 30 to 90 degrees. The robot creates less than 6 N of normal force at itstip when it is pressurized to 90 kPa. This maximum force generates pressure of 44.17mmHg at the tip, which is significantly lower than safe intraluminal human colonicpressure of 80 mmHg. The robot design inherently prevents loop formation in thecolon, which is recognized as the main cause of post-procedural pain in patients.
