Abstract
The present invention relates to a micro-robot control apparatus. An electromagnetic module for focusing magnetic field and a micro-robot control apparatus comprising the electromagnetic module, according to the present invention, focus the magnetic field in an area of interest where focusing of same is desired to allow a micro-robot to be controlled, and, the apparatus having been simplified, allow efficient setup and operation in the surgery area. Moreover, the number of electromagnets is reduced to thus reduce the number of sources of power, thereby resulting in efficient operation of the apparatus with lowered power consumption. Additionally, by means of a magnetic induction frequency signal reception coil of the micro-robot and the external micro-robot control apparatus equipped with a magnetic induction transmission coil, the micro-robot control apparatus can both generate power wirelessly for the micro-robot, and implementation location recognition of same due to the efficiency of the generated power.
