New in @ScienceAdvances! 💡 Dr. Metin Sitti and collaborators combine #microrobotics with genetically engineered cell therapies to achieve a targeted, prolonged, and cancer-selective therapeutic delivery. #OpenAccess 🔓 🔗

Amazing talk by @VMagdanz who's presenting her #microrobotics research @WaterlooENG at MARSS 2023 UAE

Sperm-based #microrobots by @VMagdanz @UWaterloo @IBECBarcelona Alumni and @CaixaResearch Junior Leader. We miss you in Barcelona Veronika. Great career and excellent research @NYUAbuDhabi

Harvard’s RoboBee looks impressive with tiny flapping wings and landing legs. Yet untethered flight lasts under a minute, carrying almost nothing. It only works in ideal lab conditions Solid prototype, but I’m skeptical about real-world use #Microrobotics #RobotDemo #TechRealism

Recent advances in electrically actuated functional materials for microrobot locomotion From crawling to flying, this review maps how actuator materials govern microrobot motion and energy efficiency. #Microrobotics #Actuators #SmartMaterials #Robotics

“Hello World” may seem simple, but it symbolizes a programmer's first command over a machine, unlocking endless possibilities. 🪰✍️ Now, fruit flies echo this milestone by writing 'Hello World' with their walking paths. ( #Robotics #Drosophila

Using optogenetics or visual cues, we guide them precisely in 2D space. They navigate mazes, write text, work together, carry loads, and even move balls! We're excited to see how they might contribute to the world of micro-robotics. #MicroRobotics #Neuroscience

Boosting speed + power in soft/micro robots promises unprecedented versatility. Join us at the #ICRA2024 impulsive motion workshop on May 13, where innovation meets agility! 🚀 #MicroRobotics #SoftRobotics #Yokohama @dtrbchlr @MKovacRobotics 🔗

Biodegradable magnetic robots may soon replace scalpels. Drexel researchers are testing “microswimmers” that burrow into arterial plaque and release clot-prevention drugs, all via catheter. Source: Drexel University #MedDevices #Cardiology #Microrobotics #surgery

🚀Excited to share my lab’s first publication on soft and deformable biohybrid microrobots capable of penetrating barriers for multifunctional therapy! Online in Microsystems & Nanoengineering! @MicroNano_X #microrobotics #biohybridsystems #magneticcontrol #tumortargeting

Our perspective on the potential of #liquidcrystals in #microrobotics can be found through a short story and snippet told by great researchers of my team Negar, Matthew, Cole, Ramon, and Azin @uwaterloo_che @WaterlooENG published at Accounts of Mater. Res.

🤖✨ Tiny self‑propelled particles can emit and detect sound to self-organize into dynamic structures like snakes, rings, or blobs — even self-heal when broken! Read more: #ActiveMatter #Microrobotics #SwarmIntelligence #Physics
