Abstract

This paper presents the development of wireless capsule endoscopy equipped with movement mechanism. The mechanism will make the wireless capsule to move within the human intestine in order to avoid jamming within the place. The design makes the capsule moving like an insect, which is different from the existing products. At the same time, users may gain wider range of the visual field by controlling the capsule to wriggle. The capsule is designed to have two modes of motion. One is manual-operating and the other is auto-operating. Users can control the camera direction and adjust the status of the capsule by using the manual-operating mode; they can also control the capsule moving forward and backward with auto-operating mode.
