Controlled manipulation of multiple cells using catalytic microbots.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-propelled microjet engines (microbots) can transport multiple cells into specific locations in a fluid. The motion is externally controlled by a magnetic field which allows to selectively load, transport and deliver the cells.

The development of useful microor nanomachines which could one day be manipulated inside the human body remains a challenging dream in nanotechnology and biomedicine. Over the last five years, there has been substantial interest in the use of chemistry to propel tiny engines in a similar fashion that nature uses biochemistry to power biological motors. Consequently, researchers have fabricated ...
متن کاملPolymer-based tubular microbots: role of composition and preparation.
The influence of the composition and electropolymerization conditions upon the propulsion of new template-prepared polymer-based bilayer microtubular microbots is described. The effects of different electropolymerized outer layers, including polypyrrole (PPy), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT), polyaniline (PANI), and of various inner catalytic metal surfaces (Ag, Pt, Au, Ni-Pt alloy), u...
متن کاملLow Cost Micro Exploration Robots for Search and Rescue in Rough Terrain
This paper presents a new concept for search and rescue missions, based on the deployment of a large number of small spherical mobile robots (“microbots”). The concept allows the search for human presence and biological or chemical agents in hard-to-reach places such as collapsed building rubble or caves. A large number (i.e. hundreds or even thousands) of cm-scale, sub-kilogram microbots are d...
متن کاملPerceptually Docked Control Environment for Multiple Microbots: Application to the Gastric Submucosal Tumor Resection
PHANToM Omni tool devices and a Tobii eye tracker. Bottom: A snapshot of the console display. Abstract—This paper presents a human-robot interface with perceptual docking to allow for the control of multiple microbots. The aim is to demonstrate that real-time eye tracking can be used for empowering robots with human vision by using knowledge acquired in situ. Several micro-robots can be directl...
متن کاملGraphene-Based Microbots for Toxic Heavy Metal Removal and Recovery from Water
Heavy metal contamination in water is a serious risk to the public health and other life forms on earth. Current research in nanotechnology is developing new nanosystems and nanomaterials for the fast and efficient removal of pollutants and heavy metals from water. Here, we report graphene oxide-based microbots (GOx-microbots) as active self-propelled systems for the capture, transfer, and remo...
