Due to their small sizes, microrobots are advantageous for accessing hard-to-reach spaces
for delivery and measurement. However, their small sizes also bring challenges in on-board …

Manipulation of micro-and nano-objects has been widely studied in the past two decades
due to its potential applications in various fields. In this review, we focus primarily on …

Untethered mobile microrobots have the potential to leverage minimally invasive theranostic
functions precisely and efficiently in hard-to-reach, confined, and delicate inner body sites …

In nature, various types of animals will form self-organised large-scale structures. Through
designing wireless actuation methods, microrobots can emulate natural swarm behaviours …

The capability to directly interrogate intracellular structures inside a single cell for
measurement and manipulation is important for understanding subcellular and suborganelle …

Cell mechanical properties, eg elastic and shear modulus, play vital roles in cell activities
and functions, such as cell growth, cell division, cell motion, and cell adhesion …

Robotic micromanipulation is a relatively young field. However, after three decades of
development and evolution, the fundamental physics; techniques for sensing, actuation, and …

In cell biology, fluorescent dyes are routinely used for biochemical measurements. The
traditional global dye treatment method suffers from low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) …

Swarm control is one of the primary challenges in microrobotics. For the automated control
of such a microrobotic system with small size and large population, conventional methods …

From single-pole magnetic tweezers to robotic magnetic-field generation systems, the
development of magnetic micromanipulation systems, using electromagnets or permanent …
