Soft robots have a “cardiovascular” problem. While their bodies can deform and bend, their hearts, the pumps that keep them ...

Picture a surgical robot that can move, cut tissue, release drugs, grip and store samples, and wirelessly generate heat. You ...

A team of scientists at NTU has developed grain-sized soft robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields for targeted drug delivery, paving the way to possible improved therapies in future. The ...

Engineers have invented an ingenious liquid-metal pump which could make future soft robotics and wearable devices much more portable and agile.

Scientists in Singapore have developed a tiny robot about the size of a seed that can perform five different medical tasks inside the body, potentially opening the door to safer and more precise ...

Before these tiny robots are deployed for such medical treatments, the NTU researchers aim to further evaluate their performance with organ-on-chip devices and animal models. Yang, Z., et al. (2024).

Maintaining an open airway is a critical priority in emergency medicine. Without the flow of oxygen, other emergency interventions can become ineffective at saving the patient's life. However, ...

One day, robots might navigate through your blood vessels to break up clots, deliver targeted chemotherapy or repair ruptured blood vessels more efficiently and effectively than existing tools, ...

A tiny flexible magnetohydrodynamic pump capable of powering soft robots has been developed by a team from the University of ...

Did you know that you actually have a “sixth sense”? Called proprioception, it helps your body make sense of where it is in space. It’s what allows gymnasts to orient themselves mid-somersault or ...
