Core Tip	The collaboration between clinicians, engineers and business entrepreneurs with advancements in visualization and actuation technologies have given rise to a new generation of advanced endoscopes with new capabilities. Current efforts have focused on the development of endoscopes with automated locomotion functions and improved instrument manipulation abilities. With further development these new endoscopes will enhance clinicians’ ability to perform advanced endolumenal procedures such as endoscopic submucosal dissection. It is vital that future robotic endoscope development will help deliver a cost effective health service.
