Elucidating the interaction dynamics between microswimmer body and immune system for medical microrobots.

Science robotics
The structural design parameters of a medical microrobot, such as the morphology and surface chemistry, should aim to minimize any physical interactions with the cells of the immune system. However, the same surface-borne design parameters are also c...

Immune evasion by designer microrobots.

Science robotics
Recent work is unveiling the interactions between magnetic microswimmers and cells of the immune system.

Field performance of sterile male mosquitoes released from an uncrewed aerial vehicle.

Science robotics
Genetic control methods of mosquito vectors of malaria, dengue, yellow fever, and Zika are becoming increasingly popular due to the limitations of other techniques such as the use of insecticides. The sterile insect technique is an effective genetic ...

Automatic tracking of free-flying insects using a cable-driven robot.

Science robotics
Flying insects have evolved to develop efficient strategies to navigate in natural environments. Yet, studying them experimentally is difficult because of their small size and high speed of motion. Consequently, previous studies were limited to tethe...

Enzyme-powered Janus platelet cell robots for active and targeted drug delivery.

Science robotics
Transforming natural cells into functional biocompatible robots capable of active movement is expected to enhance the functions of the cells and revolutionize the development of synthetic micromotors. However, present cell-based micromotor systems co...

Multifunctional surface microrollers for targeted cargo delivery in physiological blood flow.

Science robotics
Mobile microrobots offer great promise for minimally invasive targeted medical theranostic applications at hard-to-access regions inside the human body. The circulatory system represents the ideal route for navigation; however, blood flow impairs pro...

Actuation of untethered pneumatic artificial muscles and soft robots using magnetically induced liquid-to-gas phase transitions.

Science robotics
Pneumatic artificial muscles have been widely used in industry because of their simple and relatively high-performance design. The emerging field of soft robotics has also been using pneumatic actuation mechanisms since its formation. However, these ...
