Soft Bio‐Microrobots: Toward Biomedical Applications

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2024.
Soft bio‐microrobots are created with designs inspired by living creatures or utilizing motile microorganisms or cells. Their compliant and flexible bodies enable them to adapt to intricate environments. This review presents a summary of the design principles, energy sources, and biomedical applications of soft bio‐microrobots. The challenges that must

Direction selection of metachronal waves in hydrodynamic coordination of cilia

Physical Review E
Large arrays of active cilia coordinate their beat cycles into metachronal waves. These waves can travel in different directions with respect to the cilium's beat direction and the resulting direction of fluid propulsion. Hydrodynamic interactions provide a mechanism for the individual cilia to coordinate their beat cycles.

Non-Newtonian fluid model analysis due to metachronal waves of cilia: A physiological mathematical model

Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
The Phan–Thien–Tanner non-Newtonian model of fluid flow is considered to mathematically model the cilia governed flow inside human body. The collective action of cilia generates a rhythmic motion in form of metachronal wave travelling along the wall of ...
