Remote-controlled robot is changing the game for endoscopes (Advanced Science News)

A new teleoperated, magnetically steered robotic endoscope has the potential to make endoscopy safer and more accessible, especially in underserved areas. Controlled remotely via joysticks and magnetic fields, this system was successfully tested on a sedated pig, allowing precise navigation. The technology could revolutionize procedures like gastrointestinal cancer screenings, but widespread adoption depends on reliable, low-latency internet infrastructure.
