This research introduces a quadrupole magnetic tweezers which can be used for precise cell transportation by actuating magnetic spherical microrobots. The focus of the system is on navigating and manipulating cells within environments characterized b...
Tissue stiffness is related to soft tissue pathologies and can be assessed through palpation or via clinical imaging systems, e.g., ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging. Typically, the image based approaches are not suitable during interventions,...
Animal-robot interaction (ARI) is an emerging field that uses biomimetic robots to replicate biological cues, enabling controlled studies of animal behavior. This study investigates the potential for ARI systems to induce local enhancement (e.g. wher...
