Magnetically Actuated Microrobot for Drug Delivery: Current Progress and Challenges
Magnetically actuated microrobots are reshaping targeted drug delivery through wireless propulsion, programmable materials, and localized therapeutic release. This review examines how fabrication, body material selection, structural architecture, loading mechanisms, and imaging‐guided control converge to enable microrobotic therapies while identifying ...

Distributed Micropneumatic Sensors for Soft Robots to Detect Touch and Pose
Soft robots need integrated touch and pose sensing for safe and reliable operation. This work presents a three‐fingered soft gripper with 18 micropneumatic sensors made from the same materials as its pneumatic actuators. By measuring airflow resistance changes in deforming microchannels of the sensors, finger pose and contact are detected, enabling ...

XeraBorg: Neural Control of Tail‐Flick Escape for Backward Propulsion in Cyborg Crayfish
This work presents the first controlled tail‐flick propulsion method for the cyborg Cherax quadricarinatus. Comprehensive experiments establish a foundational framework for using the crayfish's natural escape mechanism as a locomotion strategy, expanding its potential as an underwater and amphibious mobile robot.
