An agglutinate magnetic spray transforms inanimate objects into millirobots for biomedical applications.

Science robotics
Millirobots that can adapt to unstructured environments, operate in confined spaces, and interact with a diverse range of objects would be desirable for exploration and biomedical applications. The continued development of millirobots, however, requi...

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.

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...

Rise of cyborg microrobot: different story for different configuration.

IET nanobiotechnology
By integrating organic parts achieved through evolution and inorganic parts developed by human civilisation, the cyborg microrobot is rising by taking advantage of the high flexibility, outstanding energy efficiency, extremely exquisite structure in ...

A Review of Magnetically Actuated Milli/Micro-Scale Robots Locomotion and Features.

Critical reviews in biomedical engineering
In the past decades, wireless milli and micro devices have been incorporated into medical procedures as a way to reduce invasiveness. However, the commercially available methods still consist of passive locomotion devices, which is a limiting factor ...

Electrosynthesis of magnetoresponsive microrobot for targeted drug delivery using calcium alginate.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Targeted drug delivery systems deliver drugs precisely to a specific targeted site inside the body, and can also release the drugs with controlled kinetics to prolong the efficacy of single dose administration. The advantageous properties of hydrogel...

Evaluation of a novel portable micro-pump and infusion system for drug delivery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper the design, fabrication and experimental results of a novel portable fixed-displacement micro-pump for controlled dosing and timing is described. The new pump is developed especially for high efficiency, high accuracy, ease of use and v...

Three-dimensional heterogeneous assembly of coded microgels using an untethered mobile microgripper.

Lab on a chip
Three-dimensional (3D) heterogeneous assembly of coded microgels in enclosed aquatic environments is demonstrated using a remotely actuated and controlled magnetic microgripper by a customized electromagnetic coil system. The microgripper uses differ...
