Research on Miniature Bio-Mimetic Robot Detection System for Gastrointestinal Tract and Motion Compatibility

Abstract:

Gastrointestinal micro-bionic robot checkups system in clinical applications has very broad prospects and important significance, which has become one of the hot research fields of medical equipment at home and abroad. In this paper, based on the micro machining technology, micro actuation technology, microelectronics technology, wireless communication technology, wireless power transfer technology and clinical medical technology, this study focused on the system design and the locomotion compatibility of a miniature biomimetic robotic examination system for gastrointestinal tract. The aim is to provide a new effective approach and reference for the design of robotic endoscope system. The result shows that the miniature bionic creeping robotic system runs stably and has good move performance. This generation of miniature bionic creeping robotic system is very important for the further research. Development of the gastrointestinal tract considers running checkups micro-robots its efficacy and safety analysis of the compatibility of that robot and the human gastrointestinal tract.
