A Convoy of Magnetic Millirobots Transports Endoscopic Instruments for Minimally‐Invasive Surgery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The first electrocautery procedure performed by a team of millirobots (TrainBots) is presented. Enhanced with optimized feet, millirobots form a convoy to facilitate the collaborative transportation of wires and catheters through biological lumens, e.g. bile ducts. It opens up the possibility of using a team of mini‐robots in future endoscopic surgery.
