Multi‐Scale Magnetically Controlled Soft Matter Robots for Tissue Interfacing Applications

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Magnetically controlled soft matter robots (MSMRs) integrate remote magnetic control with soft matter adaptability for minimally invasive biomedical tasks at tissue interfaces across multiple scales. This review examines the interaction mechanisms between MSMRs and tissue interfaces, with MSMRs classified into five categories according to their ...

Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance of Metamorphic Microrobots Using Concentric Sector Navigator

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2026.
Metamorphic magnetic microrobots are navigated using a concentric sector navigator for dynamic obstacle avoidance in both microroller and swarm states. After microroller transport, citrate‐triggered dissolution releases nanoparticles that reassemble into a controllable swarm.
