Scientists around the world have long aimed to produce miniature robots that can be
controlled inside the human body to aid doctors in identifying and treating diseases. Such …

The use of tools can be traced back to the beginning of recorded history and represents a
significant step in the evolution of mankind. A machine is a tool that can perform intended …

Untethered microrobots have attracted extensive attention due to their potential for
biomedical applications and micromanipulation at the small scale. Soft microrobots are of …

Microrobots have the potential to revolutionize many aspects of medicine. These untethered,
wirelessly controlled and powered devices will make existing therapeutic and diagnostic …

We demonstrate five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) wireless magnetic control of a fully
untethered microrobot (3-DOF position and 2-DOF pointing orientation). The microrobot can …

Magnetic microrobotics has undergone approximately 20 years of development, and the
robotics and control communities have contributed significant theoretical and practical …

First used medically in 1985, robots now make an impact in laparoscopy, neurosurgery,
orthopedic surgery, emergency response, and various other medical disciplines. This paper …

Molecular communication (MC) engineering is inspired by the use of chemical signals as
information carriers in cell biology. The biological nature of chemical signaling makes MC a …

Cerebral aneurysms are potentially life threatening and nowadays treated by a catheter-
guided coiling or by a neurosurgical clip** intervention. Here, we propose a helically …

This paper provides an overview of recent trends and developments in medical robotics for
minimally invasive soft tissue surgery, with a view to highlight some of the issues posed and …
