Researchers are working on all types of robots to allow them to climb through the human body to deliver drugs, among other things. This type of robot can be controlled with magnetic fields, and some ...

An easy way to make millirobots by coating objects with a glue-like magnetic spray was developed in a joint research led by a scientist from City University of Hong Kong (CityU). Driven by the ...

The research focuses on expanding the use of insect-scale robots measured in mere millimeters, the tiny size of which lends itself to applications in the human body. Back in 2018, we looked at an ...

A glue-like magnetic spray can turn objects, such as pills, into mini robots that can be controlled by magnets and navigated through the body. The sprayed objects can be made to roll, flip and crawl ...

Editor's take: Researchers from the City University of Hong Kong have developed a special type of spray that can give objects magnetic properties. Through the use of an external magnetic field, the ...
