A soft magnetic small-scaled robot for biomedical applications

This study aims to develop a soft and flexible magnetic millirobot based on elastic and biocompatible polymers that can generate voltage as it moves. By using this proposed millirobot, locomotion efficiency can be increased with a decrease in resistance under challenging and harsh conditions in stomachs and digestion systems. In addition, it can serve as a carrier for a drug-loaded sponge, LED, or sensor since it is capable of carrying different objects. Providing less risky treatment for both patients and physicians is the main goal of this project.
