The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Magnetic Methods in Robotics (2020, background): “Other work has developed capsules with magnetically actuatable mechanisms (100).”
Biomedical Applications of Untethered Mobile Milli/Microrobots (2015, background): “Additional milestones for capsule endoscopy has been the introduction of a crawling mechanism [52] and the introduction of on-board drug delivery mechanism [53].”
The shape – morphing performance of magnetoactive soft materials (2021, background): “In recent years, we have been observing an exponential growth of MSMs’ applications in the areas such as soft-robotics [68,69] biomedical fields [70], sensors and actuators [71-75], and shape-morphing structures [3,26,30,76,77] etc.”
Forward and backward motion control of a vibro-impact capsule system. (2015, background): “The merit of such a system is its simplicity in mechanical design and control which does not require any external driving mechanisms while allows it to move independently in a complex environment unaccessible to the legged and wheeled mechanisms [12, 13].”
A decade retrospective of medical robotics research from 2010 to 2020 (2021, background): “However, a soft and bioinspired design was already explored more than 20 years ago for advanced endoscopes with the attempt to adapt the shape of the medical tool to the features of the explored human environment [as in (45, 46) mentioned above].”
