Open AccessTwo-stage machine learning models for bowel lesions characterisation using self-propelled capsule dynamics
To foster early bowel cancer diagnosis, a non-invasive biomechanical characterisation of bowel lesions is proposed. This method uses the dynamics of a self-propelled capsule and a two-stage machine learning pr...

Open AccessDynamic analysis of a soft capsule robot self-propelling in the small intestine via finite element method
To reduce potential trauma to the intestine caused by the rigid shell while also optimising its progression efficiency, an elastomer coating was applied to a self-propelled capsule robot for small-bowel endosc...

Open AccessMachine learning-based rock characterisation models for rotary-percussive drilling
Vibro-impact drilling has shown huge potential of delivering better rate of penetration, improved tools lifespan and better borehole stability. However, being resonantly instigated, the technique requires a co...
