Plant-based Microrobots: Revolutionizing 3D Object Assembly and Medical Applications
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Tech Xplore
Researchers at the University of Twente have successfully demonstrated the collaboration of two magnetic microrobots in picking up, moving, and assembling passive objects in 3D environments. The achievement opens up possibilities for biomedical applications, allowing for remote manipulation of biomedical samples without contamination. The microrobots, controlled by a custom-made controller, are biocompatible and can operate in difficult-to-reach and enclosed spaces. The research was conducted as part of the European RĔGO project and published in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems.
