Abstract

Keeping the digestive tract healthy is important for longevity, however, its examination causes discomfortable and takes a long time. To solve these problems, many researchers have proposed self-propelled endoluminal robots, however, their materials and structures are not affinity to the lumen. In this study, we proposed soft gears made of edible gummies for a self-propelled endoluminal robot. The main contribution of this study is to have investigated the difference in basic material properties (hardness, coefficient of friction) when the material distribution (powered gelatin, granulated sugar, cornstarch, hot water) was changed. Finally, we fabricated the prototype, and it showed a positive feasibility. The self-propelled robot using proposed gears can be used for screening for gastrointestinal cancer and nutrition supply for rescue.
