This looks like ROSE Platform (Robot for Surgical Endoscope) by EndoRobotics (South Korea). The system is a robotic add-on platform designed to convert a standard diagnostic/therapeutic endoscope into a more capable surgical tool without replacing the entire endoscope. Key Features: • Mounting: The robotic module attaches directly to the distal tip (or near the tip) of a conventional flexible endoscope — exactly as described (“mounted over the scope”). • Robotic Arm: Features a single (or multi-DOF) robotic arm/manipulator equipped with a grasper. The arm can: • Rotate circumferentially around the endoscope tip (often up to 180°–360° depending on the version). • Flex / Articulate in multiple directions (typically 3 degrees of freedom). • Grasp and provide traction — actively retracting tissue. • Purpose: Provides dynamic countertraction during complex procedures like Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) for early neoplastic (cancerous or precancerous) lesions in the GI tract (esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum). Clinical Advantage In conventional ESD, the biggest challenge is poor visualization and unstable tissue exposure because the submucosal layer collapses without proper traction. The ROSE robotic arm solves this by: • Grasping the mucosal flap. • Providing adjustable, multi-directional countertraction. • Allowing the endoscopist (or assistant) to maintain clear visualization and precise dissection with the main endoscopic instruments (knife, etc.). This makes ESD safer, faster, and more effective, especially for large, fibrotic, or difficult-to-access lesions. Benefits of This Add-on Design • Compatible with existing hospital endoscopes (cost-effective). • Easier regulatory path and adoption compared to fully robotic platforms (e.g., EndoMaster EASE). • Can be attached/detached as needed. • Reduces the technical difficulty of advanced endoscopic resection. Current Status The ROSE platform (and its grasping device) has received regulatory approvals in Korea, with ongoing clinical studies and international interest (including FDA progress in recent updates). This technology represents an important step toward making complex “scarless” endoscopic surgery more accessible and reproducible. #MedTwitter #MedEd #MedX @IhabFathiSulima @docakx

Dr. Chris Thompson @MetabolicEndo at #DDW2026: the future of endoscopy is robotics — and it’s already here. 🤖 Sharp update on where endorobotics stands in 2026.

A comprehensive 🗣️ by @ThirdspaceEndo on basics of ESD, innovations in ESD and the future ! Exciting developments in the field including AI-guided ESD and endorobotics. @FesCourse

Honored to have performed first two cases of ESD in the USA using the novel EndoRobotics Platform. Great start to FL 3rd Space Course! @MahamHayatMD @AdventHealthCFL

Had the chance to attend two incredible programs at @ClevelandClinic: 🔹 Cleveland Clinic Advanced Endoscopy Course (CADEC) 🔹 Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection / Endorobotics Symposium Both meetings highlighted a truth our field can no longer ignore: ▶️ Different skill sets… same territory. GI = medicine-based CORS = operative-based As robotics and advanced endoluminal platforms evolve, the old question of “Who owns this procedure?” will matter less and less. I think, just like Ortho vs Neuro in the early days of Spine Surgery, or the evolution of Interventional Cardiology and ENT–Facial Plastics, convergence is inevitable. When robots dominate intraluminal work, I belive Endoluminal Surgery will stand as its own specialty, a hybrid discipline shaped by both surgeons and therapeutic endoscopists. ❔Ultimately, the real question becomes: Who can do it safely and effectively? In the future, we may even see hybrid colorectal / therapeutic endoscopy fellowships emerge to train the next generation of endoluminal surgeons. ✨ Exciting times ahead for innovation in GI and Colorectal surgery. Special thanks to the CCF Faculty.

Fantastic time this past weekend teaching at @ClevelandClinic ESD/Endorobotics Symposium! Thanks @amitbhattMD @EmreGorgunMD for the kind invitation to participate — an incredible course for endoscopists to explore the cutting edge! 👏👏
