Magnetically actuated microrobots for such tools have potential accomplish procedures in biological and medical applications. In this paper, a novel magnetically actuated hybrid microrobot with hybrid motion driven by an electromagnetic actuation sys...
The combination of micro synthetic structures with bacterial flagella motors represents an actual trend for the construction of self-propelled micro-robots. The development of methods for fabrication of these bacteria-based robots is a first crucial ...
BACKGROUND: Novel robots have recently been developed specifically for endonasal surgery. They can deliver several thin, tentacle-like surgical instruments through a single nostril. Among the many potential advantages of such a robotic system is the ...
