Abstract :
The article presents a helpful trial on the design of capsule robots´ actuators. A harmless, controllable driving mechanism is proved promising both by finite element analysis and by experiments in reality. In brief, the distinct actuator has obvious advantages when applied to practice, and provides an encouraging, effective chance to machinize the capsule robot.
