Polymer filament–based in situ microrobot fabrication using magnetic guidance

Abstract: In this article, we present a new three-dimensional printing inspired method for in situ fabrication of mobile magnetic microrobots with complex topology by bending a polymer filament on demand directly inside an enclosed operational environment. Compared with current microrobot fabrication methods that typically involve multiple microfabrication steps and complex equipment, the proposed method is simply and fast. The target shape is formed as the filament is fed through a hot needle inserted into the workspac… Show more

“…The most popular energy coupling method to power and control microrobots has used magnetic fields which are particularly suitable for in-vivo medical applications. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Electric field was also used to control the behavior of bacteria-powered microrobots (BPM) [16]. Acoustic actuation is another method utilized in recent studies [17,18] focused on motion control by tuning the frequency of the ultrasound.…”
