Microrobots finding their way | ETH Zurich - ETH Zürich The microrobot is capable of transporting various types of medication and dissolves to release its cargo at its destination A magnetic navigation system allows for reliable control in the bloodstream and in complex brain structures The technology has been successfully tested in realistic vessel
ETH scientists develop magnet-guided microrobot for targeted drug . . . To precisely steer the microrobots, the researchers developed a modular electromagnetic navigation system suitable for use in the operating theatre “The speed of blood flow in the human arterial system varies a lot depending on location This makes navigating a microrobot very complex,” explains Nelson
