IEEE Transactions on Robotics has been the number one most-cited journal in robotics for many years, according to the annual Journal Citation Report (in particular in the latest 2007 edition) ...

Abstract: Robotic capsule endoscopes (RCEs) are being widely investigated to improve the state of various endoscopy procedures. This paper presents the novel design of a multi-DOF sensor-enabled RCE ...

Abstract: With significant progress being made toward improving endoscope technology such as capsule endoscopy and robotic endoscopy, the development of advanced strategies for manipulating, ...

And while it's remotely controlled for now, it does have two camera modules in the front for stereoscopic vision, which could one day allow it to operate autonomously. You can see HERO-BLUE in ...

The study, published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics, is claimed to present a scalable approach to multimodal robotic perception. At the core of ProTac is a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) ...
