Sumario:PURPOSE: To present new endoscopic robotic devices in the context of minimally invasive procedures with high precision and automation. METHODS: Review of the literature by December 2018 on robotic endoscopy. RESULTS: We present the studies and investments for robotic implementation and flexible endoscopy evolution. We divided them into forceps manipulation platforms, active endoscopy and endoscopic capsule. They try to improve forceps handling and stability and to promote active movement. CONCLUSION: The implementation and propagation of robotic models depend on doing what the endoscopist is unable to. The new devices are moving forward in this direction.
