  • Patent number: 12274419
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a micro-robot control apparatus. An electromagnetic module for focusing magnetic field and a micro-robot control apparatus comprising the electromagnetic module, according to the present invention, focus the magnetic field in an area of interest where focusing of same is desired to allow a micro-robot to be controlled, and, the apparatus having been simplified, allow efficient setup and operation in the surgery area. Moreover, the number of electromagnets is reduced to thus reduce the number of sources of power, thereby resulting in efficient operation of the apparatus with lowered power consumption. Additionally, by means of a magnetic induction frequency signal reception coil of the micro-robot and the external micro-robot control apparatus equipped with a magnetic induction transmission coil, the micro-robot control apparatus can both generate power wirelessly for the micro-robot, and implementation location recognition of same due to the efficiency of the generated power.

  • Patent number: 11601732
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a display system including a capsule image view, a 3D mini-map, and a 3D panoramic view, and a method of generating a 3D panoramic view. Specifically, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to infer the shape of an organ using a 3D mini-map and to simultaneously identify whether or not the capsule endoscope captures the images, and information on the position and posture of the capsule endoscope at primary captured points by visualizing the actual movement path of the capsule endoscope, thereby improving the accuracy of examination, and since multiple 2D images captured by a single capsule endoscope are able to be viewed as a single 3D panoramic image without changing the structure of the capsule endoscope, it is economical and the viewing angle of the image is able to be increased, thereby reducing the examination time and fatigue of the examiner.
