Magnetic Fluid‐Driven Vine Robots for Minimally Invasive Tissue Biopsy Sampling

open access: yesAdvanced 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.

Monolithic Biohybrid Flexure Mechanism Actuated by Bioengineered Skeletal Muscle Tissue

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A scalable, monolithic biohybrid flexure mechanism is presented, integrating engineered skeletal muscle tissue with a soft, biocompatible, hollow silicone cylinder featuring dual pillars. Muscle contraction induces bending motion upon electrical stimulation, with performance governed by the structure's flexural rigidity.

Analysis of the Navigation of Magnetic Microrobots through Cerebral Bifurcations for Targeted Drug Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The motion of magnetic microrobots through cerebral bifurcations depends on various parameters such as the microrobots size, the blood velocity, and the imposed magnetic field gradients, among others. This work presents an in‐depth analysis of the effects of these parameters and equations predicting the required magnetic gradients based on the ...

Liquid Metal Reversible Contacts for Flexible Tactile Sensor with High Sensitivity and Wide Detection Range

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents a novel flexible tactile sensor based on the unconventional reversible contact behavior between liquid metal droplets (LMDs), with high‐pressure sensitivity and a broad working range. The 2‐LMD‐based sensor is capable of monitoring human motion and physiological signals, while electrical impedance tomography enables precise shape and

A Soft‐Tip Hydraulically Steerable Catheter for Enhanced Flexibility and Safety in Vascular Interventions

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hydraulically steerable catheter with a soft tip in vascular procedures. The steering soft tip achieves a minimal diameter of 2.6 mm and supports a 180° bend. Real‐time shape and position tracking, facilitated by segmentation and endpoint detection techniques, improves navigation.
