The book comprises three parts. The first part provides the state-of-the-art of robots for endoscopy (endorobots), including devices already available in the market and those that are still at the R&D stage. The second part focusses on the engineering design; it includes the use of polymers for soft robotics, comparing their advantages and limitations with those of their more rigid counterparts. The third part includes the project management of a multidisciplinary team, the health cost of current technology, and how a cost-effective device can have a substantial impact on the market.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Luigi Manfredi is currently Principal Investigator and Baxter Fellow at the
School of Medicine, University of Dundee, United Kingdom. His research laboratory investigates soft materials for smart endorobots for intervention in the gastrointestinal tract. He received his MSc in Computer Engineering from the University of Pisa in 2001 and PhD in Biorobotics Science and Engineering from a joint program between the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies, Lucca and Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in 2008.
He has collaborated with several industries, specifically on the design and fabrication of mechatronic systems for the digital control of robotic platforms. He has designed and implemented miniaturized digital hardware for the digital control of multi-linked and flexible bio-inspired robots and has been involved in several European projects.
He won the prestigious Surgical Innovation Award sponsored by Covidien (Baltimore, 2013) and the runner-up prize for the Emerging Technology

Award (Boston, 2016), both at the SAGES Congress, United States.
