Surgical navigation technology provides minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with the relative
pose relationships amongst medical images, surgical instruments, and lesions. On the other …

Objective: Wireless capsule endoscopy has been well used for gastrointestinal (GI) tract
diagnosis. However, it can only obtain images and cannot take samples of GI tract tissues. In …

A magnetic actuated capsule microrobotic system (MACMS) is proposed to control the
microrobot to complete specific medical tasks, such as medical diagnosis or drug delivery …

As a new type of medical equipment, capsule robots are actuated wirelessly by space
magnetic field, which have important application advantages in the diagnosis and treatment …

Magnetic positioning technology based on magnetic dipoles limited in narrow spaces. The
positioning accuracy is affected by the interference of ferromagnetic substances in the …

This article proposes a novel targeted-location drug delivery system for lower
gastrointestinal (GI) tract (such as the small intestine) capsule robots. The proposed system …

Circular fold is one of the biggest barriers for resisting endoscopic robots moving in the small
intestine. Overcoming such a resistance force for progression during endoscopic procedure …

Optical tracking system (OTS) is an important part of surgical navigation and has been
commonly employed in clinical practice due to high accuracy and precision. However …

This paper introduces a novel localization approach for active capsule endoscopy that, for
the first time, combines external magnetic field sensing and internal inertial sensing to …

Magnet tracking is an emerging tracking method for medical instruments and biological
tissues, such as endoscopes and catheters. Traditional magnet tracking technology typically …
