| description | Based on a previous study of a novel capsule robot (CR) with spring-connected legs that could collect intestinal juice for biopsy, in this research, an experiment system is designed, and two experiments are carried out. One of the experiments measures the torque and cutting force of this CR, and the other experiment tests and evaluates the biopsy function of this CR. In the measuring experiment, we analyze how the magnetic torque exerted on this CR changes. In the experiment with a biopsy, we decompose the biopsy actions and select the most effective biopsy action. The result of the experiments shows that this CR can collect and store biopsy samples ideally, and the most effective biopsy action is the rotation with legs extended. |
