The book comprises three parts. The first part provides the state-of-the-art of robots for endoscopy (endorobots), including devices already available in the market and those that are still at the R&D stage. The second part focusses on the engineering design; it includes the use of polymers for soft robotics, comparing their advantages and limitations with those of their more rigid counterparts. The third part includes the project management of a multidisciplinary team, the health cost of current technology, and how a cost-effective device can have a substantial impact on the market. It also includes information on data governance, ethical and legal frameworks, and all steps needed to make this new technology available. Focuses on a new design paradigm for endorobots applicationsProvides a unique collection of engineering, medical and management contributions for endorobotics designDescribes endorobotics, starting from available devices in both clinical use and academia | Endorobotics by Luigi Manfredi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
