Magnetic Fluid‐Driven Vine Robots for Minimally Invasive Tissue Biopsy Sampling
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This study introduces a magnetic fluid‐powered vine robot for minimally invasive biopsies. The robot uses fluid pressurization for locomotion and external magnetic fields for precise steering. Its soft structure and high magnetic volume ensure controlled movements and stabilization, enabling effective tissue penetration.

Minimally Invasive Bowel Cancer Detection through Vibrating Microrobot‐Induced Elastography
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A minimally invasive diagnostic method for bowel cancer detection combines vibrating microrobots and laser speckle contrast imaging to map tissue elasticity. By analyzing vibration‐induced resonance, detailed elasticity maps are produced, clearly differentiating tumors from healthy tissue.
