Lecture

Biomedical Microrobots: Precision Medicine and Tissue Mechanics

Description

This lecture explores the development of biomedical microrobots for precision medicine, focusing on accessing tissues with pinpoint spatial resolution. It delves into the challenges of navigating inside the human body, particularly in high curvature channels, and discusses innovative techniques such as flow-driven navigation and magnetic steering. The lecture also covers the application of microrobots in clinical settings, including endovascular routes and neural recording. Furthermore, it delves into the fascinating field of contractile tissue mechanics, investigating force fields, cell migration, and tissue flow, with a focus on controlling tissue morphogenesis through surface stress manipulation and mechanical cues. The presentation concludes with insights into future steps for self-assembly and learning from embryonic development.
