Traditional techniques of endoscopy based on flexible endoscopes are fairly reliable but poorly tolerated by patients and do not give access to the small bowel. Magnetic fields have been shown usable for manipulating endoscopic capsules, either using static coils with varying currents or mobile permanent magnets. In this short paper, we propose a novel approach which combines electromagnetic and kinematic effects and outline our research.
