Magnetic Robot

Magnetic robots, miniature devices controlled by external magnetic fields, are being developed for diverse applications, primarily focusing on minimally invasive medical procedures like targeted drug delivery. Current research emphasizes improving locomotion capabilities on complex biological surfaces and developing control algorithms for independent operation of multiple robots within a shared workspace, often utilizing permanent magnets for actuation due to their large workspace. This field holds significant promise for advancing medical robotics, enabling precise manipulation at the micro and milli scales and potentially revolutionizing procedures requiring intricate maneuvering in confined spaces.
