Researchers from the University of Waterloo in Canada have developed a tiny magnetically steerable “robot” that can dissolve ...

These robots are the first of their kind to be able to transport and release up to four different drugs in precise, reprogrammable sequences.

Waterloo researchers have developed a minimally invasive treatment to ease kidney stone pain with magnets and robots.

This raises the pH level of the liquid, making it less acidic. The change in pH causes the stone to dissolve, allowing it to be passed with urine more easily and with less pain. The filament itself ...

Flexible actuator design lets the insect-sized bots navigate effectively in complex environments with improved movement ...

Microsized robots swarm to break up bacterial biofilms Guided by magnets, photocatalytic microrobots can push through sticky mucus to treat sinus infections in animals ...

Tiny magnetic bots that are activated by light can clear bacterial infections deep in the sinus cavities, then be expelled by blowing out the nose.

While Tesla navigates this supply chain challenge, other robot manufacturers like Agility Robotics are adapting designs to minimize reliance on these rare earth magnets.
