报告题目：Exploring Ex Vivo Challenges andApplications of Microrobots
报告摘要：
This talk focuses on the ex vivo translational research of microrobots for blood clot remov.al, highlighting their potential for minimally invasive medical treatments. Micro-scalerobots, remotely controlled by external maanetic fields, can naviaate complex vascular environments to perform precise interventions. Their small size, cost-effectiveness, and abili.ty to self-propel using low-strength magnetic fields make them promising tools for futuremedical applications. In this talk, we will discuss the key challenges and breakthroughs inmicrorobot locomotion using helical propulsion and present recent experimental findingsdemonstrating their efficacy in ex vivo clot removal. We will also explore the next stepstoward clinical translation, including real-time imaging, navigation strategies, and preclinical validation. By bridging microrobotic technology with medical applications, this worlaims to advance minimally invasive treatments for vascular diseases, potentially trans-forming how blood clots and vascular diseases are treated in the future.
