Magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) are functional materials that can be actuated by
applying an external magnetic field. MREs comprise a composite of hard magnetic particles …

Faced with complex and diverse tasks, researchers seek to introduce stimuli-responsive
materials into the field of microrobots. Magnetic helical microrobots based on shape-memory …

This paper presents some of the high-accuracy and high-speed structured light 3D imaging
methods developed in the optical metrology community. These advanced 3D optical …

Many idle green resources exist in nature, including water and moisture, which are
ubiquitous but have no great value. In this work, we, for the first time, innovatively twisted a …

We develop a reduced model for hard-magnetic, thin, linear-elastic shells that can be
actuated through an external magnetic field, with geometrically exact strain measures …

Microrobots powered by multi-physics fields are becoming a hotspot for micro–nano
manufacturing. Due to the small size of microrobots, they can easily enter small spaces that …

In this article, we propose a novel magnetic-actuated multimodule drug sustained-release
minirobot (DSM) manipulated by an external rotating electromagnetic field. The structure of …

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are promising candidates for use in the targeted delivery of
drugs using microrobotics. These devices enable the delivery and sustained release of …

Recent advances in smart materials and microfabrication techniques lead to the
development of microrobots for on-demand and targeted therapy. Self-folded hydrogel tubes …

Soft actuators with complex range of motion lead to strong interest in applying devices like
biomedical catheters and steerable soft pipe inspectors. To facilitate the use of soft actuators …
