Multiple Sampling Capsule Robot for Studying Gut Microbiome
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A multiple sampling capsule robot (MSCR) is developed for longitudinal gut microbiome analysis. Employing electromagnetic field control, the MSCR can locomote actively, precisely align the selected channel, and collect up to six microbiome samples with minimal cross‐contamination.

JGH Open, Volume 6, Issue 12, Page 904-909, December 2022., 2022 Classically described in the group of non‐cirrhotic portal hypertension, obliterative portal venopathy (OPV) causes are still unknown. Our aim is to describe the characteristics of 43 OPV patients and potential risk factors. Clinically significant portal hypertension was found in 28% of cases. The most frequent indication for liver biopsy was elevation

A CT-guided Control Framework of a Robotic Flexible Endoscope for the Diagnosis of the Maxillary Sinusitis [PDF]
arXivFlexible endoscopes are commonly adopted in narrow and confined anatomical cavities due to their higher reachability and dexterity. However, prolonged and unintuitive manipulation of these endoscopes leads to an increased workload on surgeons and risks of collision.

JGH Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 16-23, January 2023., 2023 Endoscopic CBD stone removal is more difficult with stones larger than 2 mm than with distal CBD diameter or round or square‐shaped stones. Therefore, endoscopic large papillary balloon dilatation (ELPBD) is probably more required for stones larger than 2 mm than for distal CBD; likewise, round or square‐shaped stones are likely more required for ELPBD

BrightVAE: Luminosity Enhancement in Underexposed Endoscopic Images [PDF]
arXivThe enhancement of image luminosity is especially critical in endoscopic images. Underexposed endoscopic images often suffer from reduced contrast and uneven brightness, significantly impacting diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning. Internal body imaging is challenging due to uneven lighting and shadowy regions.

Magnetic Fluid‐Driven Vine Robots for Minimally Invasive Tissue Biopsy Sampling
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a magnetic fluid‐powered vine robot for minimally invasive biopsies. The robot uses fluid pressurization for locomotion and external magnetic fields for precise steering. Its soft structure and high magnetic volume ensure controlled movements and stabilization, enabling effective tissue penetration.
