چکیده
Recent progress in microrobotics is moving us closer to a future in which tiny intelligent machines will navigate throughout our bodies. These microrobots will aid medical professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of a number of human diseases. This talk will overview recent progress in this field and discuss near-term applications in ophthalmic therapies as well as longer term possibilities.

Digital microrobotic
Microrobotics deals with the design, fabrication and control of microrobots to perform tasks in the microworld (i.e. the world of submillimetric objects). While end-effectors experienced considerable developments, few works concerned the development of microrobot architectures adapted to the microworld. Most of the actual robots are bulky and based on the miniaturization of traditional architec...
متن کاملMobile Microrobotics Principles and Manufacturing Technologies
A new emerging field has recently appeared in the microand nano-technologies: the untethered, submillimeter, microor nano-sized robots, which present potential applications in biomedical diagnosis, targeted drug delivery or micro-electro-mechanical parts microassembly. Microrobotics is the field of miniature robotics and is that branch of robotics, which deals with the study and application of ...
متن کاملTemporary fixing systems for applications in Microrobotics
This paper focuses on temporary fixing systems for microrobotics. Several solutions from the state of the art are presented and compared: solutions based on mechanical bending, electromagnetic elements, electrostatic forces, glues, polymers or Van der Waals forces. From this analysis, we designed and developed a new system based on thermal glue (that permits to exchange the tip part of a microg...
