Introduction: Nowadays, mass screening campaigns for colorectal cancer diagnosis in the
early and curable stage is essential yet limited due to many reasons, for example …

Surgical robots have had clinical use since the mid‐1990s. Robot‐assisted surgeries offer
many benefits over the conventional approach including lower risk of infection and blood …

The purpose of this study is to validate a Jacobian-based iterative method for real-time
localization of magnetically controlled endoscopic capsules. The proposed approach …

Magnetic localization provides a feasible way to estimate the position and orientation of the
wireless capsule endoscopy embedded with a permanent magnet. However, the magnetic …

Wire-driven flexible robots are efficient devices for minimally invasive surgery, since they
can work well in complex and confined environments. However, the real-time positional and …

This paper proposes a method of simultaneously calibrating magnetic localization and
actuation systems for magnetically actuated robots. In this method, uncalibrated magnetic …

This paper presents a method to estimate the six-degree-of-freedom pose of a magnetic
capsule, with an embedded permanent magnet and Hall-effect sensors, using a rotating …

This paper presents a quaternion-based Kalman filter for real-time estimation of the
orientation of a quadrotor. Quaternions are used to represent rotation relationship between …

Permanent magnet-based localization is a very promising method for the tracking of
minimally invasive medical devices inside the human body, such as a wireless capsule …
