— Capitalizing on advances in CMOS and MEMS technologies, microrobots have the potential to dramatically change many aspects of medicine by navigating bodily fluids to perform t...
— Microrobots experience physical phenomena that are difficult to model analytically and that are not completely captured with macro-scale prototypes. In this paper we present a...
