Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a small software " robot " for 3D printing that can be manipulated by magnetic fields and is expected to be used in biomedical applications.

A study published in the latest issue of Nature shows that this "robot" is actually a 3D printed structure shaped like a snowflake, fully extended to a maximum diameter of about 4 cm. Under the manipulation of the magnetic field, it can crawl, roll, jump, quickly contract to catch the rolled ball, and wrap the tablet on the table.

Professor Zhao Xuanhe, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, used 3D printing inks with magnetic particles and mounted electromagnets on the nozzles of 3D printers to control the direction of the magnetic particles during printing, creating this external magnetic field manipulation. A finely deformed structure occurs immediately underneath.

According to reports, this "robot" controlled by a magnetic field does not require high voltage like some electrically driven robots, and it has a faster deformation speed than a software robot made of materials such as hydrogel.

The research team said that using this technology can also create "robots" with different shapes and functions, such as ring structure embedded circuit and red and green LED lights, under the action of external magnetic field, the ring can be deformed to illuminate the red light or Green light.

Zhao Xuanhe said that this invention is expected to be widely used in the field of biomedicine. For example, a small "robot" can be placed near the blood vessel to control blood flow; or it can be used to guide the required equipment into the gastrointestinal tract, to take photos, obtain tissue samples, Clear blockage or precise administration.
