Abstract

Endorobots can empower the user’s perception by accessing the human body through natural orifices or small incisions. Improvements in new available technologies, in designing miniaturized sensors and actuators, in new smart materials, and in powerful computational units to implement complex real-time control strategies have paved the way to new design paradigms. This chapter discusses current challenges and future trends in endorobotics that will provide new solutions for the design of the next generation of endorobots. The chapter will discuss in the first section the evolution of medical devices; then, it presents the size requirement to access human organs, and in the last section, challenges ahead in designing the next generation of endorobots are presented.
