While the small size of the commercialized capsule endoscopy makes it easy to swallow, it limits the capabilities of the imaging device inside the capsule and does not allow for the inclusion of an internal locomotion device, leading to limitations such as low image resolution, passive capsule movement, and low power source capacity. In order to enhance the efficiency of capsule endoscopy, the current study has been undertaken with three main objectives...
