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 …

Microrobot swarms have promising prospects in biomedical applications ranging from
targeted cargo delivery to minimally invasive surgery. However, such potential is …

Magnetically actuated robots have proven effective in several applications, specifically in
medicine. However, generating high actuating fields with a high degree of manipulability is …

Small-scale magnetic robots are remotely actuated and controlled by an externally applied
magnetic field. These robots have a characteristic size ranging from several millimetres …

Magnetic actuation has been well exploited for untethered manipulation and locomotion of
small-scale robots in complex environments such as intracorporeal lumens. Most existing …

Given the anatomy of the small intestine, this paper investigates the dynamics of a vibro-
impact capsule moving on an intestinal substrate with the consideration of a circular fold …

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 …

This article proposes a wireless open-winding motor (WOWM) system, where noncontact
operation can be achieved with the magnetic coupler. Thus, the flexibility and reliability of …

Magnetic-controlled micro-robots have promising applications in disease therapy due to
their high targetability and drug utilization. Due to their unique deformable and divisible …

In this paper, we study a mathematical model for evaluating the resistant force of endoscopic
devices self-propelling in the small intestine with a consideration of its anatomy. Circular fold …
