 note = {We have developed1 a traveling small capsule, which has a smooth outer surface and is driven by inertia force and friction force. Measuring only 7 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length, it is sufficiently small to be placed in the human gullet or intestines. The capsule contains a small magnet and a coil, and an electric pulse drives the magnet to move the capsule. To investigate the feasibility of our traveling capsule, we conducted theoretical analyses using a simple model. Separating the phenomena into four steps, we obtained fundamental equations and clarified the motion. We performed an experimental investigation on making our capsule travel on a plastic material, which has similar elasticity characteristics to the living body. We also showed that it can travel on the surface of a pig’s intestine. We measured the temperature of the capsule during its movement to evaluate safety for the human body. Using the calculated results, we created a new input signal pattern for the capsule and thus successfully doubled the speed of movement of the capsule. Our capsule may be useful for medical treatments such as inspection, drug delivery and operation., 12th lFTOMM World Congress, Besancon, France, 2007.},
