Cover Story: The morbidity and mortality of gastrointestinal malignancy and related diseases are increasing year by year, which has seriously threatened people’s health and even life. Research focused on the gastrointestinal microrobot, which can move autonomically and expand the intestinal tract, is important. The expanding mechanism is the key device for the gastrointestinal microrobot to achieve active locomotion and anchoring in the intestinal tract. The performance of the gastrointestinal microrobot is directly related to the gastrointestinal tract safety, applicability, and work efficiency. View this paper
