of an artificialpotential field U(q). The robot moves by following the field, just as a ball would roll downhill.The goal acts as an attractive force on the robot and the obstacles act as repulsive forces. Thesuperposition of all forces is applied to the robot, which, in most cases, is assumed to be apoint in the configuration space. Such an artificial potential field smoothly guides the robottoward the goal while simultaneously avoiding known obstacles. The basic idea behind thismethod is that the robot is attracted toward the goal, while being repulsed by the obstaclesthat are known in advance.The capsule could traverse the whole GI tract by implementing the above algorithm. But inthis scenario, we only take into consideration the
