Özet: Colonoscopy is an endoscopic method used to screen colon for detecting colorectal cancer which is the second leading mortality cause among all cancer types. Conventional colonoscopes are propelled and positioned manually that lead to the risk of colon perforation and patient discomfort. In this talk, I will present a novel robotic solution for colonoscopy operations that will reduce operational risk and improve patient comfort. My talk will focus on the development and evaluation of the robotic prototypes that are categorized as growing soft robots having huge potential not only for the medical applications, but also for inspection purposes in confined spaces and hard-to-access areas.
