“…Copyright © 2013 by ASME Several versions of two-arm miniature in vivo robots with varying degrees of freedom, different linkages and joint designs, a range of topologies, and various methods of actuation have been designed, built and tested [8][9][10][11][12] in an attempt to increase the workspace, dexterity, force and torque density and simplicity of insertion along with further miniaturization. Figure 1 shows two representative examples of robots which have evolved in complexity; per-arm architectures include R-R-P, 2R-R-P, R-R-R-R-R-R, R-R-R-R, R-2R-R-R-R, 2R-2R-R, and 2R-R-R [8][9][10][11].…”
