Intelligent Micro/Nanorobots for Targeted Interventional Therapy: From Bench to Clinic
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Zirui Zhang et al. reviewed the application and challenges of mobile nanomachines in interventional therapy. By converting exogenous energy, including chemical, magnetic, optical, and ultrasonic sources, into mechanical forces, micro/nanorobots (MNRs) enable precise actuation at unprecedented scales. Evolving far beyond traditional drug delivery, these

Design of parallel robots in microrobotics
Robotica, 1997 During the past few years, there has been an increasing demand in the field of precision engineering for fine motion in multi-degrees of freedom systems. These applications motivated the development of a new robotics field called microrobotics. In this paper, we review both the design guidelines for microrobots and the advantages of using parallel ...

Endovascular Microrobotics for Neurointervention
Annual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous SystemsEndovascular techniques have revolutionized the treatment of cerebrovascular disease in the human brain. In this review, we examine the current state of this technology, which consists of multiple concentric catheters that are manually navigated from the lumen of peripheral arterial access within the patient's arm or leg up into the brain using ...
