A Helical Microrobot with an Optimized Propeller-Shape for Propulsion in Viscoelastic Biological Media
One major challenge for microrobots is to penetrate and effectively move through viscoelastic biological tissues. Most existing microrobots can only propel in viscous liquids. Recent advances demonstrate that sub-micron robots can actively penetrate nanoporous biological tissue, such as the vitreous...
