Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Motility-induced coexistence of a hot liquid and a cold gas
Nature CommunicationsIf two phases exist at the same time, such as a gas and a liquid, they have the same temperature. This fundamental law of equilibrium physics is known to apply even to many non-equilibrium systems.

Magnetic Janus Particles for Static and Dynamic (Bio)Sensing
Magnetochemistry, 2019 Magnetic Janus particles bring together the ability of Janus particles to perform two different functions at the same time in a single particle with magnetic properties enabling their remote manipulation, which allows headed movement and orientation ...

A continuum model for nematic alignment of self-propelled particles [PDF]
, 2016 A continuum model for a population of self-propelled particles interacting through nematic alignment is derived from an individual-based model. The methodology consists of introducing a hydrodynamic scaling of the corresponding

Cross‐Scale Hierarchical Targeted Delivery System Based on Small‐Scale Magnetic Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article reviews a cross‐scale hierarchical targeted delivery system that integrates magnetic continuum robots and magnetic microrobots. By combining rapid long‐range navigation with precise microscale targeting, the system overcomes key limitations of single‐scale approaches.

Swarming transitions of self-propelled particles with anisotropic social interactions
Physical Review ResearchCollective motion in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacterial colonies to insect swarms, fish schools, and bird flocks. In all cases the motility of individual cells or organisms both is influenced by and, in turn, influences the ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Micro‐ and nanorobots for targeted thrombolysis. This perspective elaborates on the clinical indication of blood clot disorders and current limitations for treatment. As a novel, alternative solution, micro‐ and nanorobots can be used to treat and break down thrombi.

Dynamics-dependent density distribution in active suspensions
Nature Communications, 2019 It has been predicted theoretically that the density of self-propelled particles whose speed is spatially dependent should be inversely proportional to the local speed.
