Safer, more precise procedures with microrobots Microrobots are miniature robots that are made using nanotechnology. They show promise in several medical applications, such as surgery, targeted drug ...
Researchers have created a magnetic tweezer system that could one day make it possible for doctors to do remote, non-invasive, highly precise medical procedures on their patients using a microrobot.
This week, a new robotic platform designed to increase surgical efficiency gained clearance from the FDA. The agency cleared Levita Magnetics’ platform, which combines the company’s proprietary ...
A device tiny enough to be injected into the eye without anesthetic could change the practice of eye surgery, according to a Wall Street Daily report. The tiny robots, developed by a team of ...
The global surgical robot market was valued at about $4.3 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach approximately $7.4 billion by 2030, according to market research firm Grand View Research. The North ...
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers presented magnetic soft-robotic chains (MaSoChains) that use magnetic and elastic energies to fold themselves into large stable ...
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a severe disease that occurs when a vein in the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye (i.e., the retina) becomes blocked, which results in a loss of vision.
Magnetic robotic microscrew for oviduct recanalization. The magnetic microrobot clears the blockage based on mechanical motion under the rotating magnetic field. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17, 2024 — ...
