The state-of-the-art in enteroscopic surgery and therapeutic care continues to minimize invasiveness, cost, surgery time, and patient trauma. To this end, a new class of medical device, called the robotic capsule endoscope, is being pursued by multiple research groups. These potentially swallowable devices will radically expand the capabilities of natural orifice surgery by performing non-invasive tasks within the gastrointestinal tract that are now only possible with enteroscopic, laparoscopic, or open surgery. It is necessary for a robotic capsule endoscope to possess active, controlled mobility, which involves interactions between gastrointestinal tissue and engineering materials. Design challenges stem from the nonlinear and variable me...
