Small-scale shape-programmable medical robots 

Wireless miniature medical robots have the unique capability of navigating, operating and staying inside hard-to-reach, tight and risky sites inside our body. This talk reports on our group’s recent milli/microscale wireless soft medical robots that could navigate in confined spaces inside our body to achieve various medical functions, such as stroke/aneurysm treatment, local active drug delivery, liquid biopsy, tumor treatment, biofluid pumping, neural stimulation, and cauterization/hyperthermia.
