Intelligent Robotic Ingestible Sampling Pill An intelligent, magnetically guided robotic pill (S-PIRE) integrates a hydrodynamic screw, wireless control, and magnetic docking to collect viscous fluids. As the first reported pill for wireless mucus collection, S-PIRE marks a step toward in vivo gastrointestinal sampling for disease detection.
