Magnetic fields enable remote manipulation of objects and are ideal for medical applications because they pass through human tissue harmlessly. This capability is promising surgical robots, allowing navigation deeper into the anatomy accessing organs beyond reach current technologies. However, magnetic typically limited to a maximum two–degrees-of-freedom orientation, restricting complex motions, especially those including rolling around main axis robot. To address this challenge, we...
There is a growing need for precise, minimally invasive biopsy techniques that reduce patient discomfort, improve sampling accuracy in hard‐to‐reach areas, and minimize tissue damage. Vine robots, type of continuum robot, offer promising solution with their unique ability to evert, allowing them navigate complex environments while reducing friction. This article presents novel vine robot design powered by magnetic fluid. The fluid drives both growth through pressurization enables precise...
This article explores the concept of external magnetic control for vine robots to enable their high curvature steering and navigation use in endoluminal applications. Vine robots, inspired by natural growth locomotion strategies, present unique shape adaptation capabilities that allow passive deformation around obstacles. However, without additional mechanisms, they lack ability actively select desired direction growth. The principles magnetically steered growing are discussed, experimental...
