Abstract:
Disclosed is a magnetic-piezoelectric micro robot capable of a hyperthermia treatment, an electrotherapy and a cell therapy. The magnetic-piezoelectric micro robot includes a body and a stimulus generating layer formed at a surface of the body including a magnetic particle and a piezoelectric particle and generating heat from the magnetic particle and generating an electrical stimulus from the piezoelectric particle by an external stimulus, wherein one of a hyperthermia treatment by the magnetic particle or an electrotherapy by the piezoelectric particle is performed or both are performed simultaneously.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a magnetic field-controlled movable bio-scaffold and a method for constructing the same. The bio-scaffold is highly biocompatible and can readily move to a target site under the control of an external magnetic field.
Abstract:
A microrobot of which a drug release is controlled by a sound wave applied from outside, and a method of manufacturing the microrobot are disclosed. The method includes mixing and storing magnetic nanoparticles and a drug in a biodegradable resist, and forming a microrobot having a three-dimensional (3D) porous structure at the resist through two-photon polymerization (TPP). The microrobot is formed to control a release rate of the drug stored in the resist by a sound wave applied from the outside.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system for performing a control on a micro-robot using a transfer robot. The system includes a magnetic field control unit configured to control a movement of a micro-structure or a micro-robot within a working area according to an output magnetic field, a transfer robot connected to the magnetic field control unit to transfer the working area in space, and a control unit configured to receive position information about the micro-structure or micro-robot and position information about the transfer robot, and transmit a control signal based on the received position information.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a guidewire steering micro-robot. The guidewire steering micro-robot includes a guidewire, and a steering unit provided at an end portion of the guidewire, the steering unit including a magnetic body to control and steer a position of the guidewire by an external magnetic field.
Abstract:
A microrobot is formed by mixing a biodegradable first material, biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles, and a drug, and includes a structure body having a three-dimensional (3D) structure and cells cultured on the surface of the structure body three-dimensionally.
Abstract:
Provided is a tactile sensation recognition device according to an embodiment of the disclosure including: a receiver configured to receive tactile sensation information obtained by sensing a surface of an object through a tactile sensor; a preference determiner configured to determine whether a user prefers the received tactile sensation information, based on a user tactile function fuser(x); and a display displaying a user preference for the received tactile sensation information.
