Modular robotic system that can be swallowed and will assemble inside the G.I. Tract for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. This research involves the investigation of the self-assembly of the ARES robot inside the stomach. Using a specific magnet configuration on the connection face, assembly success rates of up to 90% are possible.
