During past few years, applications of untethered magnetically controlled soft robots in the
biomedical operations have been extensively reported, which is attributed to the efficient …

Capsule endoscopy is a procedure that uses a tiny wireless camera inside a capsule
endoscope to capture pictures of the patient's gastrointestinal tract for diagnosis …

Untethered capsules hold clinical potential for the diagnosis and treatment of
gastrointestinal diseases. Although considerable progress has been achieved recently in …

This paper reports the experimental study of a vibro-impact self-propulsion technique
applying for small-bowel endoscopy by using a mesoscale capsule prototype, which is 56.9 …

While soft/partially soft-bodied robots have extensive applications, robust actuation system,
efficient locomotion gait, and simple manufacture process are the main challenging …

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 …

By employing a couple of columnar magnets with a specific arrangement, a negative
stiffness magnetic spring (NSMS) is designed, modelled and then experimentally validated …

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 …

Uptake of capsule endoscopy in the large intestine has been very limited due to both the risk
of missed lesions and the often prolonged transit time, making it an unviable alternative to …

This paper explores the design process of robotics and autonomous systems using a co-
design approach, applied ethics, and values-driven methods. Specifically, the approach …
