Development of Multiple Capsule Robots in Pipe [PDF]

Micromachines, 2018
Swallowable capsule robots which travel in body cavities to implement drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, and diagnosis have provided great potential for medical applications. However, the space constraints of the internal environment and the size limitations of the robots are great challenges to practical application. To address the fundamental

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Control of an In-pipe Inspection Robot for Iron Pipes.

Journal of the Robotics Society of Japan, 1997
This paper describes improvements to the mechanism and control of an in-pipe magnetic-wheeled robot. The robot has dual magnetic-wheels and can turn in a T-shaped iron pipe. However, the conditions for the turn are extremely restricted, that is, the robot must move within a certain tiny area of the pipe. To ease the conditions, a mechanism which allows
