Micro capsule type robot
First Claim
1. A micro capsule type robot having a camera for examining the internal organs of a human body, the micro capsule type robot, comprising:
- a stopping means installed to a body thereof for stopping or delaying moving of the micro capsule type robot at a certain examination position according to a stop control signal inputted from outside of a human body, wherein the stopping means stops or delays moving of the body by hanging on the internal wall of the internal organs by projecting a bridging member of a bridging unit from the body according to the stop control signal, and wherein the body is constructed with a front unit, a rear unit and a cylinder unit, a plurality of grooves are radially formed on the cylinder unit of the body in a length direction, and the bridging unit includes a plurality of bar-shaped bridging members respectively fixed to the plurality of grooves, wherein when the micro capsule type robot is moved, the bridging unit is placed inside the groove, when moving of the robot is stopped or delayed, the bridging member is projected from the groove in accordance with the stop control signal.
