Over the past 10 years, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has shown significant benefits
compared to conventional surgical techniques, with reduced trauma, shorter hospital stays …

Magnetic actuation is a versatiletechnology, widely applied in medical robotics for
noncontact steering of flexible instruments and untethered agents. In this article, we exploit …

Optical microscopy is frequently used to visualize microrobotic agents (ie, micro-agents) and
physical surroundings with a relatively high spatio-temporal resolution. However, the limited …

Continuum manipulators coupled with magnetic actuation have great potential as steerable
instruments for diverse surgical applications. They can be maneuvered inside the human …

This brief presents a novel tracking control algorithm for a micro-robot based on dynamics
