Pillbot: Swallowable robot with thrusters performs endoscopy at home


Endiatx's swallowable camera uses pumpjet thrusters for remote stomach exams, replacing invasive procedures and advancing telemedicine.

Equipped with cameras, sensors, and wireless communication technology, the PillBot enables doctors to examine the gastrointestinal tract with exceptional precision and control. According to its creators, PillBot will save lives while relieving pressure on healthcare facilities and enabling telemedicine stomach cancer screening for those with limited access to hospitals. Smith envisions a future where PillBot, currently requiring manual control by doctors for movement and camera operations, becomes fully autonomous with AI guidance.
