Abstract

This paper presents a tracking method for an in vivo robotic capsule whose power is supplied from one of the multiple power transmission coils. The proposed method is aiming at selecting the best coupled one among the arrayed power transmission coils. It utilizes the fact that the driving current of the power transmitter is increased when the receiver coil inside the capsule is inductively coupled with the transmitter coil. By investigating the current increase characteristic according to its location relative to the transmission coils, we can draw the strategy on tracing the in vivo robotic capsules. This paper shows some promising results with two transmission coils and a two-dimensional power receiver. Experimental results gave the possibility of selecting the best coils by estimating the relative location of the capsule.
