Core Tip Conventional colonoscopy remains limited by patient discomfort, loop formation, and operator dependence, prompting the development of manual assistive and robotic technologies. This review summarizes current advanced colonoscopy devices, comparing their mechanisms, clinical performance, and real-world adoption. Manual assistive devices provide gradual improvements with minimal workflow disruption, while robotic systems demonstrate promising reductions in pain and sedation requirements but face cost and implementation barriers. Although widespread clinical adoption remains limited, ongoing advances in automation, magnetic navigation, and artificial intelligence suggest a future role for hybrid and robotic systems in improving procedural quality and patient experience.
