Abstract

Described herein are remote sensing capsules for sensing features within a fluid medium, systems including remote sensing capsules, and methods of using them. The remote sensing capsules described may include a capsule body (20), which may at least partly enclose one or more sensors (70, 70’, 80), a power supply (battery), a telemetry system (40), a propulsion system (50), a buoyancy control system, and control systems (60). Sensing capsules may be used to make real-time stereoscopic video images from within a subject's body. Systems including remote sensing capsules may include one or more transceivers for receiving signals from the capsule and for sending signals.
