Abstract :
This paper presents a simple structure of the medical capsule micro-robot which achieves micro-image acquisition and wireless transmission. It has the characteristics of high integration, small size and low power consumption. The experimental results indicate that the capsule micro-robot can obtain a lot of clear images. It unifies observing, monitoring and safety diagnosis of the patient organically.
