“…Research in surgical robots has already produced new designs, breaking the telemanipulation paradigm. For example, mobile mini‐robots for in vivo operation have already been described in the literature (124,125), as well as hyper‐redundant (snake) robots (126,127), continuum robots (128), NOTES mini‐robots (129), fixed‐base robots (130) and crawler robots (131). However, a true potential in revolutionizing medicine lies with micro/nanorobotics.…”

“…To facilitate insertion through the abdominal wall, most CITs exhibit mechanical mechanisms, such as sliding tacks or folding arms 23 – 28 , for remote intracorporeal deployment. Intracorporeal vision networks (IVNs) are comprised of one 29 or more 30 – 33 stand-alone imaging devices that are mounted or placed inside the abdominal cavity. Most competing technologies that fall under these categories provide peripheral context via intracorporeal innovations that add significant setup time and complexity to MIS while only solving a fraction of its limitations.…”

Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is limited in safety and efficiency by the hand-held nature and narrow fields of view of traditional laparoscopes. A multi-resolution foveated laparoscope (MRFL) was invented to address these concerns. The MRFL is a stationary dual-view imaging device with optical panning and zooming capabilities. It is designed to simultaneously capture and display a zoomed view and supplemental wide view of the surgical field. Optical zooming and panning capabilities facilitate repositioning of the zoomed view without physically moving the system. Additional MRFL features designed to improve safety and efficiency include its snub-nosed endoscope, tool-tip auto tracking, programmable focus profiles, unique selectable display modalities, foot pedal controls, and independently controlled surgeon and assistant displays. An MRFL prototype was constructed to demonstrate and test these features. Testing of the prototype validates its design architecture and confirms the functionality of its features. The current MRFL prototype functions adequately as a proof of concept, but the system features and performance require further improvement to be practical for clinical use.

“…If several in vivo robot units are placed into the abdominal cavity, they can cooperate to accomplish different kinds of surgical operations without the restriction of incision [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. To place the units in the right position, Magnetic Anchoring and Guidance System (MAGS) is proposed [19].…”

Compared to the traditional open surgery, minimally invasive abdominal surgery results in improved results. In order to further reduce the number of incisions, some people put forward laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) which can get better results. But it also has several disadvantages, such as the tools` interference with each other, the restriction of tools` motion space due to incision. The tools which are able to work in the abdominal cavity entirely can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above, they are ideal for the LESS. We are working on a kind of in vivo robot unit which works entirely in the abdominal cavity. It has the function of lighting and visual feedback. For the purpose of providing better surgical field, the robot unit can tilt to a certain angle and clean the lens automatically. This paper focuses on introducing the design procedure of key transmission parts, self-cleaning executive mechanism and shells.
