Benchtop evaluation demonstrates a flexible continuum robot system in endoluminal gastrointestinal models, highlighting precise tissue manipulation.

A flexible continuum robot system enables dexterous endoluminal gastrointestinal endoscopy, performing coordinated grasping and peeling tasks with nine degrees of freedom.
Grasping capacity reaches 3 N during experimental testing, allowing dual flexible continuum mechanical arms to manipulate delicate endoluminal tissue securely.
Experimental validation confirms master–slave configuration tracking, highlighting that position closed-loop control may enable delicate endoluminal surgical procedures.

Sun et al. (2024) studied this question.
