“…Fractional factorial approach was used to optimize the attachment success rate. Furthermore, a main-auxiliary robot was presented for drug delivery, as shown in figure 6(c), where the main robot was responsible to determine the location of lesion, and the auxiliary robot produced a repulsive force between magnets to squeeze medicine into the drug store from the drug delivery port [63]. Analogously, in order to achieve a large amount of drug release, a multi-modular capsule robot was proposed, which consists of a leader module and several part modules [64].…”

As a new type of medical equipment, capsule robots are actuated wirelessly by space magnetic field, which have important application advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. Active locomotion is the basis of medical operation for capsule robots, as well as an important guarantee to avoid misdetection and retention in the body. Furthermore, the pose estimation of the capsule robots in the gastrointestinal tract can provide accurate information for medical operation and improve work efficiency. Specific medical operation is one of the ultimate goals of capsule robots, and it is the key to realize the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment technology. Moreover, replacing traditional chemical batteries with wireless power transfer technology not only reduces the dimensions of the capsule robots, but also provides unlimited possibilities for the development of medical operations. In this work, the state-of-the-art capsule robots are reviewed according to the research directions of the locomotion, pose, medical operation and wireless power transmission reported from 2018 to 2023. In light of the four main directions of the capsule robots, some important research achievements and approaches are summarized. In particular, some outstanding advances on innovative structure, efficient methodology and appropriate application of the capsule robots are introduced in details. Finally, an overview of the significant issues occurred in the capsule robots is reported, and the developing trends are discussed.

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) offers a non-invasive evaluation of the digestive system, eliminating the need for sedation and the risks associated with conventional endoscopic procedures. Its significance lies in diagnosing gastrointestinal tissue irregularities, especially in the small intestine. However, existing commercial WCE devices face limitations, such as the absence of autonomous lesion detection and treatment capabilities. Recent advancements in micro-electromechanical fabrication and computational methods have led to extensive research in sophisticated technology integration into commercial capsule endoscopes, intending to supersede wired endoscopes. This Review discusses the future requirements for intelligent capsule robots, providing a comparative evaluation of various methods’ merits and disadvantages, and highlighting recent developments in six technologies relevant to WCE. These include near-field wireless power transmission, magnetic field active drive, ultra-wideband/intrabody communication, hybrid localization, AI-based autonomous lesion detection, and magnetic-controlled diagnosis and treatment. Moreover, we explore the feasibility for future “capsule surgeons”.
