Abstract

We present a case study of a pill-sized capsule robot operating in the human's gastro-intestinal (GI) tract. A design example to conceptually build such a micro-robot is first presented, and a laboratory module is then developed to demonstrate robot navigation techniques. Medical considerations, such as size, speed, safety, and functionality of the robot are discussed, and robot building components are provided including sensors, actuators, processing, communicating, and power supply. The laboratory module is built on the 3D Webots simulation platform. Behavior-based robot navigation methods are introduced to program the robot to navigate in the human's body.
