Infertility affects an estimated 186 million people worldwide, with fallopian tube obstruction contributing to 11–67% of female infertility cases. In AIP Advances researchers at the SIAT Magnetic Soft Microrobots Lab have developed an innovative solution using a magnetically driven robotic microscrew to treat fallopian tube blockages.
A research team led by Prof. Kim So-hee from the Department of Robotics and Mechanical Electronics, DGIST, has developed a technology that enables precise brain stimulation using a coil small enough to be implanted in the body. It is expected to be utilized as an electronic medicine for brain neurological disorders that require long-term treatment due to its ability to significantly improve safety and effectiveness with fewer side effects compared to existing technologies.
A pivotal study of the robotic platform in colorectal surgery will begin at five hospitals in early 2025.
In the future, delivering therapeutic drugs exactly where they are needed within the body could be the task of miniature robots. Not little metal humanoids or even bio-mimicking robots; think instead of tiny bubble-like spheres.
