Paper doi abstract bibtex Objective: In this work, an endoscopic tactile robotic capsule embedding miniaturized MEMS force sensors is presented. The capsule is conceived to provide automatic palpation of non-polypoid colorectal tumours during colonoscopic procedures, since they are characterized by a high degree of dysplasia, higher invasiveness and lower detection rates with respect to polyps. Methods: A first test was performed employing a silicone phantom that embedded a set of inclusions with variable hardness and curvature. In this scenario, a hardness-based classification was implemented, demonstrating detection robustness to curvature variation. By following a comparison of several well-known supervised classification algorithms, we chose a weighted 3-nearest neighbor classifier to detect the inclusions. We also introduced a bias force normalization model in order to make different acquisition sets consistent. The parameters of this model were chosen through a particle swarm optimization method. Additionally, an ex-vivo test was performed to assess the capsule detection performance when magnetically driven along a colonic tissue. An external permanent magnet positioned at the end-effector of an anthropomorphic robotic arm was used to drive the capsule. In this framework, lumps were identified as voltage peaks with a prominence depending on the total magnetic force applied to the capsule. Results: In a 94 % accuracy in hardness classification is achieved, while a 100% accuracy is obtained for the lump detection within a tolerance of 5 mm from the central path described by the capsule. Conclusion: In the real application scenario, we foresee our device aiding the physician to detect tumorous tissues.
