Magnetic small-scale robots: Principles, applications and challenges
(2021)Public Health ToxicologyLast two decades has seen a growth of the research on untethered mobile small-scale robots. These motile devices display the ability to travel through fluids by transforming the energy generated by an external power source into mechanical motion. As a result, these devices are being recognized as promising platforms to break through the drawbacks of nanoparticle drug delivery systems. Among the family of small-scale devices, magnetic ...Other Conference Item -
Soft-hard magnetically driven microrobotic devices
(2021)Public Health ToxicologyMagnetic micro- and nanorobots are promising candidates for the delivery of therapeutic agents in difficult-to-reach locations of the human body. These devices can swim through fluids by means of external magnetic fields. Depending on the specific design, these devices can exhibit a plethora of motion patterns as a function of the applied magnetic field. Many of these devices can also mimic the motion strategies of small organisms and ...Other Conference Item
