Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Hydraulics of submerged offset-jets

, 2016
This study presents an experimental investigation of hydraulic characteristics of submerged offset jets. The instantaneous velocity was captured by an acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV). A total of 20 runs were carried out by varying different parameters: Reynolds number (2847580730), offset ratio (3.166.2), jet Froude number (1.93), submergence ...
