Robotic artificial intelligence nasal/oral/rectal enteric tube

This invention describes a robotic system that can automatically guide a catheter tube inside a person's body, for example, into the digestive or respiratory tracts. The tube has a tiny camera and a wireless transmitter at its tip to send back images of the internal structures. A robotic engine, guided by artificial intelligence, uses these images to steer an articulated wire inside the catheter, helping it navigate to the correct location, and can also identify specific biological markers.

Why it matters: AI models for real-time image processing and navigation have advanced significantly since 2020, making the core AI control engine more robust and efficient.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMiniaturized robotics, AI navigation, medical device integration.
