Multitasking magnetic microrobots

In recent years, magnetic microrobots have demonstrated their great potential as versatile tools in biomedical research. They can carry out tasks such as, effectively administering drugs, carrying cancer cell therapies, and as manipulators equipped for biosensing. In this talk, I will present our advances in obtaining microrobots that integrate several physical and chemical functionalities by a variety of materials at micro- and nanometric scales.
