Abstract:
Systems and methods for automated steering control of a robotic endoscope, e.g., a colonoscope, are provided. The control system may comprise: a) a first image sensor configured to capture a first input data stream comprising a series of two or more images of a lumen; and b) one or more processors that are individually or collectively configured to generate a steering control output signal based on an analysis of data derived from the first input data stream using a machine learning architecture, wherein the steering control output signal adapts to changes in the data of the first input data stream in real time.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 13 , further comprising generating a steering control output signal to direct the robotic endoscope to search along a specified route when a confidence level for determining the location of the center of the lumen relative to the distal end of the robotic endoscope is below a first threshold, and repeating the steps of (i) performing automated image processing and feature extraction on one or more images of at least the first input data stream to identify the center position of the lumen, (ii) calculating a new confidence level for the determination of the center position of the lumen, and (iii) generating the steering control output signal to direct the robotic endoscope to search along the specified route until the new confidence level is above a second threshold.
