Abstract

This paper presents an active locomotive intestinal capsule endoscope as a micro-robot that travel into the digestion system with wireless control abilities. The capsule endoscope is integrating with novel micro-biopsy tools to be able to extract tissue samples from the small and larger intestine. The entirely capsule system has abilities of target random biopsies by localization method, coming to right place to take biopsy sample, take and send several hundred of pictures for further analysis by the doctor. The biopsy mechanism provides passive triggered mechanism with highly active positional accuracy to collect the biopsy tissue sample and control along the way of the intestine.
