Creeping camera capsule
Designed to creep along inside a patient's digestive tract using springy "legs", the robot carries a camera and could provide an alternative to traditional endoscopy.
The robot could be used to examine the inside of the gullet, stomach and duodenum for damage or ulcers, and was developed in the CRIM Lab at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, Pisa, Italy.
