Abstract

As for gastrointestinal bleeding, the traditional medical methods and instruments are not very satisfying because of low accuracy and much invasion. And how to locate the hemorrhagic spot is also a trouble question. A novel medical method of miniature robot system with wireless communication is presented in this paper. The miniature robot works in human´s gastrointestinal tract, which can detect and locate hemorrhagic spot, delivery drug to hemorrhagic spot in real time as primary treatment. The outstanding advantage of this method is non-invasion
