A magnetic marker is installed with the metal clip at the suspected lesion during the endoscopic examination. Before operation, a capsule containing the soft robots with Cy5 is taken. The soft robots gather and adhere to preinstalled metal clip under the magnetic field. The lesion is lighted up and can be easily figured out under NIR light during the operation.
