Biologically inspired micro-robotic swimmers remotely controlled by ultrasound waves.

Lab on a chip
We 3D print micro-robotic swimmers with the size of animal cells using a Nanoscribe. The micro-swimmers are powered by the microstreaming flows induced by the oscillating air bubbles entrapped within the micro-robotic swimmers. Previously, micro-swim...

Bioinspired soft microrobots actuated by magnetic field.

Biomedical microdevices
In contrast to traditional large-scale robots, which require complicated mechanical joints and material rigidity, microrobots made of soft materials have exhibited amazing features and great potential for extensive applications, such as minimally inv...

Magneto-Responsive Microneedle Robots for Intestinal Macromolecule Delivery.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Oral administration is the most convenient and commonly used approach for drug delivery, while it is still a challenge to overcome the complicated gastrointestinal barriers and realize efficient macromolecular drug absorption. Here, novel magneto-res...

Indoor Positioning Using Magnetic Fingerprint Map Captured by Magnetic Sensor Array.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
By collecting the magnetic field information of each spatial point, we can build a magnetic field fingerprint map. When the user is positioning, the magnetic field measured by the sensor is matched with the magnetic field fingerprint map to identify ...

A semi-analytical solution and AI-based reconstruction algorithms for magnetic particle tracking.

PloS one
Magnetic particle tracking is a recently developed technology that can measure the translation and rotation of a particle in an opaque environment like a turbidity flow and fluidized-bed flow. The trajectory reconstruction usually relies on numerical...

Wireless MRI-Powered Reversible Orientation-Locking Capsule Robot.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners do not provide only high-resolution medical imaging but also magnetic robot actuation and tracking. However, the rotational motion capabilities of MRI-powered wireless magnetic capsule-type robots have been l...

Metachronal μ-Cilia for On-Chip Integrated Pumps and Climbing Robots.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Biological cilia often perform metachronal motion, that is, neighboring cilia move out of phase creating a travelling wave, which enables highly efficient fluid pumping and body locomotion. Current methods for creating metachronal artificial cilia su...

3D Printed Biomimetic Soft Robot with Multimodal Locomotion and Multifunctionality.

Soft robotics
Soft robots can outperform traditional rigid robots in terms of structural compliance, enhanced safety, and efficient locomotion. However, it is still a grand challenge to design and efficiently manufacture soft robots with multimodal locomotion capa...

Beyond Human Hand: Shape-Adaptive and Reversible Magnetorheological Elastomer-Based Robot Gripper Skin.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Developing a simple and universal solution for gripping fragile, multiscaled, and arbitrary-shaped objects using a robot gripper is challenging. Herein, we propose a universal, shape-adaptive/-retaining and reversible, hardness-variable gripper skin ...

Plasma-Induced Polymerizations: A New Synthetic Entry in Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuators.

Macromolecular rapid communications
The research on soft actuators including liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) becomes more and more appealing at a time when the expansion of artificial systems is blooming. Among the various LCE actuators, the bending deformation is often in the origin ...
