Why is it important?

Our device adopts a novel and simple mechanism to achieve active locomotion in the intestinal tract. Thanks to its simplicity, its size can be minimized to swallowable level.

Perspectives

I acknowledge this work is not very novel and excellent, but the details of the design, analysis, and testing presented in it are quite valuable for further development of the motor-driven capsule robot.
