In this study, a drug delivery system for chemo-hyperthermia applications is proposed and fabricated. The delivery system consists of magnetic-silica (MagSi) particles being encapsulated within a pH/thermo-responsive chitosan‑g‑N‑isopropylacrylamide ...
Soft-robotic devices such as polymeric microgrippers offer the possibility for pick and place of fragile biological cargo in hard-to-reach conduits with potential applications in drug delivery, minimally invasive surgery, and biomedical engineering. ...

Biocompatibility and high responsiveness to magnetic fields are fundamental requisites to translate magnetic small-scale robots into clinical applications. The magnetic element iron exhibits the highest saturation magnetization and magnetic susceptib...
Several invertebrate and vertebrate species have been shown to align their body relative to the geomagnetic field. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the adaptive significance of magnetic body alignment outside the context of navigation. H...

Characterization of children exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields is an important issue because of the possible correlation of leukemia onset with ELF exposure. Cluster analysis-a Machine Learning approach-was applied on personal...

In this work, the propulsion of a helical robot is experimentally characterized inside whole blood (in vitro model) and against the flowing streams of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) inside rabbit aorta (ex vivo model). The helical robot is magnetica...
Microbot locomotion is challenging because of the reversible nature of microscale fluid flow, a limitation that can be overcome by breaking flowfield symmetry with a nearby surface. We have used this strategy with rotating wheel-shaped microbots, μwh...
Core-shell microcapsules as one type of the most attractive carriers and reactors have been widely applied in the fields of drug screening and tissue engineering owing to their excellent biocompatibility and semi-permeability. Yet, the spatial organi...

Lower extremity paralysis has become common in recent years, and robots have been developed to help patients recover from it. This paper presents such a robotic system that allows for two working modes, the robot-active mode and human-active mode. Th...
In nature, various types of animals will form self-organised large-scale structures. Through designing wireless actuation methods, microrobots can emulate natural swarm behaviours, which have drawn extensive attention due to their great potential in ...
