Recently, medical actuators of various kinds have been reported. We have particularly reported actuators for colon endoscope navigation. Magnetic actuators have the unique feature that they can be moved wirelessly, using external magnetic fields. The magnetic actuator consists of a permanent magnet and a spiral structure. When a rotational magnetic field is applied, the actuator rotates and moves without wired connection. The actuator therefore has a potential use for colon endoscope navigation. In this paper, we show some results compared with other navigation systems.
