Post‐Task Management of Biomedical Microrobots Toward Clinical Translation: Biodegradable and Retrievable Strategies

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Microrobots offer new opportunities for minimally invasive biomedical applications, including targeted therapy, in vivo sensing, and disease diagnosis. This review highlights biodegradable and retrievable strategies for post‐task management, focusing on material degradation, active retrieval, and the integration of both approaches to improve biosafety ...

Magnetic Cell-Mimetic Droplet Microrobots with Division and Exocytosis Capabilities

Research
The first challenge in building a living robotic system inspired by life evolution is how to replicate the original form of life—the cell. However, current microrobots mimic cell motion control but fail to replicate the functional biological activities ...

Beyond Dexterity: Navigating the Trade‐Offs of Steerable Catheter‐ and Guidewire‐Based Endovascular Robotics for Clinical Applications

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Steerable catheters and guidewires enable precise navigation and intervention in complex vascular anatomies. This review systematically examines their steering mechanisms, including morphological, transmission‐based, and transduction‐based actuation, highlighting their underlying principles and engineering characteristics.

Surface Locomotion of Cell‐Sized Microrobots Subject to Adhesive Heterogeneity

Small, EarlyView.
Chemically powered, cell‐sized microrobots exhibit translational, circular, or spiral motion through a balance among self‐phoretic propulsion, drag, gravity, and heterogeneous surface interactions. Experiments show that microrobot design and substrate conditions regulate both mobility and trajectory type.

Extended Reality in Endodontics: A Review of Current Applications and Future Potential

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extended reality (XR) technologies, encompassing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), are increasingly used in endodontic education and practice. A gap exists regarding understanding of XR's applications and limitations among endodontic educators and practitioners.

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Performance Estimation and Ex Vivo Validation of Untethered Magnetic Robots in Soft Tissue

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 61, 3 November 2026.
This study presents an empirical model that quantitatively predicts the step‐out frequency of screw‐type untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) in soft viscoelastic environments, including ex vivo brain tissue. By integrating key parameters into a dimensionless framework, the model enables estimation of robot performance across a range of biological ...
