For biomedical applications, such as single cell manipulation, it is important to fabricate
microstructures that can be powered and controlled wirelessly in fluidic environments. In this …

Targeted drug delivery is a promising application of microrobots owing to the capability of
the microrobots to access nearly every region of the human body through the circulatory …

Biocompatibility and high responsiveness to magnetic fields are fundamental requisites to
translate magnetic small‐scale robots into clinical applications. The magnetic element iron …

The use of magnetic fields and field gradients to move magnetic material and devices within
the human body has a surprisingly long history. Over the past two decades, there has been …

Autonomous self‐propelled micromachines, taking energy from surrounding environment
and converting it to their motion, are on the forefront of the research for smart materials in the …

Multidrug combination therapy provides an effective strategy for malignant tumor treatment.
This paper presents the development of a biodegradable microrobot for on‐demand …

Flexible magnetic small-scale robots use patterned magnetization to achieve fast
transformation into complex three-dimensional (3D) shapes and thereby achieve locomotion …

Using macrophage recruitment in tumors, we develop active, transportable, cancer
theragnostic macrophage-based microrobots as vector to deliver therapeutic agents to tumor …

We propose a new electromagnetic actuation (EMA) system for an intravascular microrobot
with steering, locomotion and drilling functions. The EMA system consists of 3 pairs of …
