Due to the unique advantages of untethered connections and a high level of safety,
magnetic actuation is a commonly used technique in microrobotics for propelling …

A widely accepted definition of a medical device is an instrument or apparatus that is used to
diagnose, prevent or treat disease. Medical devices take a broad range of forms and utilize …

A major challenge for untethered microscale mobile robotics is the control of many agents in
the same workspace for distributed operation. In this work, we present a new method to …

Existing remotely actuated magnetic microrobots exhibit a maximum of only five-degree-of-
freedom (DOF) actuation, as creation of a driving torque about the microrobot magnetization …

The field of microrobotics has seen tremendous advances in recent years. The principles
governing the design of such submillimeter scale robots rely on an understanding of …

Magnetic miniature robots (MMRs) are small‐scale, untethered actuators which can be
controlled by magnetic fields. As these actuators can non‐invasively access highly confined …

This paper presents a novel actuation technology for robotically assisted MRI-guided
interventional procedures. In the proposed approach, the MRI scanner is used to deliver …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices provide magnetic field gradients, which can be
used to remotely actuate magnetic robots that may one day carry out medical tasks, such as …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-powered magnetic robotics aims to convert clinical MR
scanners into a remote robotic manipulation platform to provide an alternative approach for …

This paper reports the design and development of a novel millimeter-sized robotic system for
