Toward wireless medical microrobot applications driven by an electromagnetic actuation
(EMA) system, challenges associated with movability, the electromagnetic force, and the coil …

In this article, we present a novel stationary electromagnetic actuation system (EMS) and a
redundant magnetic field control approach that can enhance the magnetic actuation ability …

This paper investigates design, modeling, simulation, and control issues related to self-
propelled endoscopic capsule navigated inside the human body through external magnetic …

In this paper, the authors propose applying a magnetic actuator to a capsule endoscope.
Capsule-shaped magnetic actuators were fabricated and in vitro tests were examined. The …

To date, untethered magnetic devices actuated with a single rotating permanent magnet,
such as active capsule endoscopes and magnetic microrobots, have been constrained to …

Embedded with an internal permanent magnet (IPM), a magnetically actuated capsule
(MAC) robot can be controlled inside gastrointestinal (GI) tract by an external permanent …

Simultaneous magnetic actuation and localization is a promising technology to realize active
wireless capsule endoscopy. In this article, an adaptive approach is proposed to efficiently …

For an active and precise diagnosis, we developed an active locomotive intestinal capsule
endoscope (ALICE), which can be wirelessly driven and controlled using an electromagnetic …

Magnetic field gradients have repeatedly been shown to be the most feasible mechanism for
gastrointestinal capsule endoscope actuation. An inverse quartic magnetic force variation …

We developed a magnetic navigation system (MNS) composed of a magnetic field control
part and a robot arm part to precisely control the position and posture of a capsule …
