Soft microrobots for healthcare applications

In the rapidly advancing field of medical microrobotics, the development of versatile robots is essential. Key capabilities include targeted cell transport, controlled release of drugs and nutrients, safe in-vivo imaging, and non-invasive microsurgery. Achieving these functions is challenging—especially when biocompatible and biodegradable materials are required. In this talk, I will present our approach to addressing these challenges and discuss its implications for the future of healthcare.
