Modeling and Simulation of the Drug Delivery Function for a Magnetic Driven Capsule Robot

Abstract

The capsule robot was developed to detect various intestinal diseases and mainly used in the minimally invasive procedures. Among them, commercial capsule robots can already suit the general inspection requirements. But just having the inspection function is increasingly unable to keep up with the pace of the new era, so developers are working hard to integrate some functional modules into traditional endoscope robots. In this research, we proposed a new type of robot capable of delivering drugs in the affected area, and analyze the rationality of structural design in combination with Ansys Fluent simulation, some improvements in drug delivery structure will be proposed. Finally, the experiment will be carried out for motion stability evaluation of the new type microrobot movement by a custom 6-DOF interial measurement unit. Through the above methods to improve the structural design of the robot and finally get a robot with high performance and stable operation.
