Snake, Rattle and Roll

Snake, Rattle and Roll

The image shows a snake-inspired soft robot we call BIOSENTER that moves through the small intestine, assisting doctors in diagnosing and treating digestive issues in hard-to-reach areas during endoscopic procedures.

 I took this image to visually demonstrate the capabilities of the snake-inspired soft robot as it navigates the small intestine, aiming to assess how well it mimics snake-like movements to overcome extreme environments like narrow, slippery, and curved areas. The goal was to evaluate its locomotion performance and interventional precision for potential use in endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
