Revolutionary Magnetic Shaftless Propeller Millirobot: Advancing Multimodal Motion for Precision Small-Scale Fluidic Manipulation
- Scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology have introduced a magnetic shaftless propeller-like millirobot (MSPM) with significant biomedical and environmental application potential.
- The MSPM, featured in Cyborg and Bionic Systems, showcases versatile multimodal motion capabilities for cargo manipulation.
- Addressing the limitation of single-setting robots, the MSPM excels in surgical and drug delivery scenarios with fluidic maneuvering options like rolling and swimming.
- Its design merges magnetic propulsion and shaftless structure for adaptable movement across various terrains and environments.
- Featuring magnetic and non-magnetic components, the MSPM's precise construction enables efficient fluid transport and stability.
- With 3D-printed tube experiments, the MSPM has shown potential in treating conditions like thrombosis and enhancing drug delivery efficacy.
- The MSPM's precision in navigation and fluid management aligns with minimally invasive medical trends, promising improved outcomes and procedural success rates.
- Beyond healthcare, the MSPM's utility extends to environmental remediation, indicating broader implications for sustainability and public health.
- Lead researcher Yaozhen Hou envisions diverse applications for the MSPM in medical devices, environmental safety, and beyond.
- The interdisciplinary collaboration behind the MSPM underscores the necessity for holistic approaches to tackle complex health and environmental challenges.
