In recent years, developing soft robots capable of conducting various in vivo clinical operations under remote wireless drive has emerged as a popular topic research the biomedical field. Although flexible and versatile have been developed, they can only be driven on certain surfaces, environments work are limited. Inspired by multi-legged organisms, we develop cordless, soft-bodied, millipede inspired robot that swallowed into stomach an external magnetic field to move target area for drug...
Soft actuators that exhibit large deformation and can move at a fast speed in response to external stimuli have been high demand for biomimetic applications. In this paper, we propose convenient approach fabricate reversible thermal-responsive composite hydrogel. Under the irradiation of visible light, striped hydrogel bend up 65.72°/s with carbon nanotubes loaded concentration 3 mg/mL. A jellyfish-like miniature soft robot is made using When driven by maximum 3.37 mm/s. Besides swimming,...

After decades development, magnetically driven microrobots been extensively...
Abstract Hydrogel microstructures that encapsulate cells can be assembled into tissues and have broad applications in biology medicine. However, 3D posture control for a single arbitrary microstructure remains challenge. A novel manipulation assembly technique based on optothermally generated bubble robots is proposed. The generation, rate of growth, motion microbubble robot controlled by modulating the power laser focused interface between substrate fluid. In addition to 2D operations, are...
The design and manufacturing of microchannels are crucial aspects modern micro/nanomanufacturing processes, offering a versatile platform for manipulating driving micro/nanoparticles or cells. In this study, we propose method using optically induced dielectrophoresis technology to induce the polymerization polyethylene glycol diacrylate solution. To overcome limitations related light intensity energy size intact microchannels, manufacture microstructures various shapes with height 4 µm....
Inspired by natural organisms, actuators have shown great promise for small swimming robots. However, previous single-stimulus-driven studies limited their effectiveness in complex aquatic environments. In this study, a PINPAM/MWCNT composite actuator was developed. This can be controlled both light and chemical agents to achieve rapid drift on the water surface. It enables programmable trajectory motion water, capable of performing maneuvers such as linear translation, turning, rotation,...
The specific spatial distribution of tissue generates a heterogeneous micromechanical environment that provides ideal conditions for diverse functions such as regeneration and angiogenesis. However, to manufacture microscale multicellular modulesin vitroand then assemble them into functional units is still challenging task. In this study, novel method the digital assembly microtissue modules proposed. This technique utilizes flexibility micromirror device-based optical projection lithography...
Abstract Soft‐bodied aquatic organisms and amphibians have different locomotion forms optimized for the living environment. With increase of scientific research on oceanographic engineering, more researchers are paying attention to underwater movement bionic robots. Currently, robots face two critical problems, that is, inefficient actuation traditional stimulatory response materials inability ensure accurate spatiotemporal control deformation. In this study, a soft stimulus‐responsive...
Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent digestive malignancies. The lack effective in vitro peritoneal models has hindered exploration potential mechanisms behind gastric cancer's metastasis. An accumulating body research indicates that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an indispensable role metastasis cells. In this study, a biomimetic peritoneum was constructed. model similar to real internal microstructure, composition, and primary function, it enables recurrence process vitro....
