Robotics in the Gut

Since the advent of ingestible temperature sensors and capsule endoscopes, rapid advances in electronics, robotics, nanotechnology, and material sciences have opened the door for the development of novel medical ingestible robots. The untethered robots provide direct, non‐invasive access to the entire gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Furthermore, the tissues, gases, and fluids of the gastrointestinal lumen contain a multitude of biomarkers...
