> Enabled by a joint design of the camera’s hardware and computational processing, the system could enable minimally invasive endoscopy with medical robots to diagnose and treat diseases, and improve imaging for other robots with size and weight constraints. Arrays of thousands of such cameras could be used for full-scene sensing, turning surfaces into cameras.
There are existing swallowable capsule endoscopy devices like the PillCam[1], the entirety of which is 11mm x 26mm[2]
