| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed a capsule endoscope that can move by itself. Measuring only 11mm in diameter and 31 mm in length, it is sufficiently small to be placed in human gullet or intestines. This capsule has an electromagnetic vibration actuator which consists of a coil and a magnet, and an electric pulse drives the magnet to move the capsule. This actuator needs to generate larger driving force than frictional resistance of human gullet or intestines and weight of the capsule including a camera, a circuit board and a battery.
