Abstract
This paper investigates the surface adhesion
characteristics required for a miniature mobile device to
move around the abdominal cavity. Such a device must
be capable of adhering to the tissue lining and move
freely across the upper surface of the insufflated
abdomen. Accordingly, the potential of utilising bioinspired
solutions to facilitate wet adhesion is assessed.
