Untethered and self-transformable miniature robots are capable of performing
reconfigurable deformation and on-demand locomotion, which aid the traversal toward …

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

Smart capsules are developing at a tremendous pace with a promise to become effective
clinical tools for the diagnosis and monitoring of gut health. This field emerged in the early …

Untethered miniature robots enable targeted delivery and therapy deep inside the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract in a minimally invasive manner. By combining actuation systems …

This paper presents a novel robotic dual electromagnetic actuation (DEMA) system capable
of simultaneous actuation and localization of a magnetic capsule endoscope (MCE). The …

As a fundamental instrument in vascular interventional surgery, guidewires inherently face
limitations when navigating through complex curved blood vessel bifurcations due to their …

We propose a method to control the motion of a capsule endoscope (CE) in the stomach
utilizing either a single external permanent magnet (EPM) or dual EPMs to extend the …

Neurosurgery could benefit from robot-assisted minimally invasive approaches, but existing
robot tools are insufficiently small and compact. Magnetic actuation is an attractive approach …

The magnetic navigation system (MNS) with gradient and uniform saddle coils is an effective
system for manipulating various medical magnetic robots because of its compact structure …

Objective: Non-invasive, pill-sized capsules can provide intestinal fluid sampling to easily
retrieve site-specific gut microbiome samples for studies in nutrition and chronic diseases …
