About
Zhuang Ma is a leading researcher in the field of biomedical micro-robotics, with a primary focus on the wireless actuation and control of capsule endoscopes and other gastrointestinal devices. His most significant contribution lies in the development of spatial universal rotating magnetic field systems, which enable the non-contact, precise drive of capsule robots through the complex and bending environment of the human intestine. In his landmark 2012 paper, Ma introduced a novel technical scheme employing three-axis orthogonal square Helmholtz coils. By leveraging the magnetic field superposition principle, his design generates a uniform, rotating magnetic field in any spatial orientation, solving a critical challenge in maneuvering micro-robots within the body. This foundational work, which has garnered 22 citations, provides the theoretical design, analysis, and experimental validation for a system that can actively steer and propel a capsule robot without the need for onboard power or tethers. Ma’s research is pivotal for advancing non-invasive diagnostics and targeted drug delivery, establishing a core engineering framework that continues to influence the design of magnetic actuation systems in medical robotics.
