About
Fengqing Qin is a researcher specializing in the magnetic actuation and control of robotic capsule endoscopes for minimally invasive gastrointestinal diagnosis. Her work focuses on the precise, external manipulation of swallowable capsules, which contain imaging devices and circuitry, by using permanent magnets. Qin’s major contribution lies in the theoretical and experimental verification of magnetic forces exerted on these capsules. She proposed an innovative design where a robotic capsule is looped by a thin magnet ring (as thin as 1 mm), allowing for active maneuvering via an external cuboidal or cylindrical permanent magnet. This approach addresses the critical challenge of making capsules small enough to swallow while still enabling accurate external control. Her most cited paper, "The verification of force exerted on robotic capsule looped by magnet ring" (2015, 4 citations), and her subsequent work on cuboidal magnet forces (2014, 2 citations) provide foundational models for calculating and optimizing the magnetic attraction, pushing, and rotational forces needed for capsule navigation. Though her citation counts are modest, Qin’s research is a notable step toward practical, non-invasive active capsule endoscopy, offering a pathway to more reliable and maneuverable diagnostic tools.
