Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Expertise (DGIST, President Yang Kook) Professor Hongsoo Choi’s staff of the Division of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering collaborated with Professor Sung-Received Kim’s staff at Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital, Catholic College of Korea, and Professor Bradley J. Nelson’s staff at ETH Zurich to develop a know-how that produces greater than 100 microrobots per minute that may be disintegrated within the physique.
Microrobots aiming at minimally invasive focused precision remedy may be manufactured in varied methods. Amongst them, ultra-fine 3D printing know-how known as two-photon polymerization technique, a way that triggers polymerization by intersecting two lasers in artificial resin, is probably the most used. This know-how can produce a construction with nanometer-level precision. Nonetheless, a drawback exists in that producing one microrobot is time consuming as a result of voxels, the pixels realized by 3D printing,
