Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) is limited by high omission rates due to passive locomotion and lack of dynamic control. A teleoperated magnetic actuation system is presented using a Rotating Permanent Magnet mounted on a 6-DOF robotic arm controlled via SpaceMouse interface. The system was validated using a gelatine-based colon phantom, with capsule locomotion evaluated across various terrains at different RPM frequencies and distances.
Real-time imaging through MiroCam's Human Body Communication protocol enabled targeted navigation to X-ray marked polyp locations. Results demonstrated effective terrain-adaptive navigation, with 100% polyp detection achieved when the capsule was maneuvered to re-examine areas by moving in a controlled reverse direction, indicating enhanced diagnostic yield potential for VCE through active teleoperated control.
