Robots as small as a grain deliver drugs
A team of scientists at NTU has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future.
A team of scientists at NTU has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future. The study is believed to be the first reported instance of miniature robots that can transport up to four different drugs and release them in reprogrammable orders and doses. The NTU team had previously developed magnetically controlled miniature robots capable of complex manoeuvres such as ‘swimming’ through tight spaces and gripping tiny objects.
