Soft robotics: how vine-like robots are transforming tumor treatment


Join us as we explore how a new vine-like soft magnetic robot is shaping up to revolutionize medical diagnosis and treatment.

To this end, the robots developed by Valdastri and his team grow from within, allowing them to move through the body’s narrowest passages without traditional pushing or pulling mechanisms, which can damage tissue. In contrast, the vine robot’s flexibility and growth method allow it to travel through highly complex, winding structures deep within the body. As this groundbreaking research moves closer to clinical reality, it’s clear that soft robotics will play an increasingly important role in the future of healthcare.
