Introduction Have you ever seen various kinds of robots with different shapes, sizes, and purposes? But have you ever seen a robot smaller than the eye of a needle? Micro Robots A team of scientists from Northwestern University in the United States has developed a robot smaller than the eye of a needle. It looks … Read more
Banner | Promotion Editor’s Note Driveable Micro Robots have broad application prospects in non-invasive surgery, targeted delivery, detoxification, etc., and have received widespread attention. However, these applications place more demands on the performance of micro robots. For example, in non-invasive surgery, people hope to safely manipulate micro robots to target diseased cells without contact. In … Read more
Due to their adaptability to the surrounding environment, soft microrobots have developed various therapeutic applications in the medical field, including vascular clearance, cell transport, and drug delivery. However, most soft microrobots cannot quickly enter, retrieve, and maintain their original position once the external driving field is removed. To address this, Guannan He from China Medical … Read more
———- For More Information, Please Follow Us ———- Microrobots have advantages such as small size, light weight, high thrust-to-weight ratio, and high flexibility. They can be classified into two categories based on size: The first category includes robots in the nano to micro size range, generally driven by external forces, mainly used in biomedical fields. … Read more
This is Issue 1063 of the “Intestinal Industry” Editor’s Note As technology continues to develop, robots have become increasingly common. Many scenes from science fiction movies are gradually becoming reality. The applications of robots in the medical field are becoming more diverse, and their sizes are shrinking. So, how miniaturized will robots become in the … Read more

Small magnetic soft-bodied robots can be designed for different modes of movement, enabling navigation and operation in unstructured, confined, and dynamic environments. These soft micro-robots can be used in medical applications, where the robot’s task is to move within the human body. Recently, Ziyu Ren & Metin Sitti from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent … Read more
In recent years, researchers have developed several flying robots inspired by the wing motion mechanisms of flying animals (such as birds and bats).Researchers have always believed that insects (including beetles) actively extend and retract their wings through chest muscles, just like birds and bats.However, due to technological limitations, researchers have been unable to determine which … Read more
