In recent years, simultaneous magnetic actuation and localization (SMAL) for active wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) has been intensively studied to improve the efficiency and accuracy of gastrointestinal (GI) examination using WCE. In this letter, we draw inspiration from the conventional colonosco
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 realize 6-DOF pose estimation of a magnetic capsule robot. It utilizes an inertial measurement unit embedded in the cap
Autonomous ultrasound (US) acquisition is an important yet challenging task, as it involves interpretation of the highly complex and variable images and their spatial relationships. In this work, we propose a deep reinforcement learning framework to autonomously control the 6-D pose of a virtual US…
Active wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) under magnetic actuation is a promising technology to reduce the inspection time and relieve the burden of physicians. In this paper, we propose a reciprocally rotating magnetic actuation method for trajectory following of a capsule and develop its dynamic mod…
Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) has the advantage of reducing the invasiveness and pain of gastrointestinal examinations. In this work, we propose a system aimed at autonomously accelerating and locating the WCE inside the intestine for clinical applications. A rotating magnet controlled by a robot…
