Magnetic microrobot system for targeted drug delivery

Caption

This figure illustrates a magnetic microrobot system for targeted drug delivery. A catheter or endoscope delivers a microrobotic assembly close to the target tissue, after which magnetic navigation guides the microrobots through the vasculature. The system is designed to disassemble into a microrobotic swarm, release therapeutics locally, and then undergo degradation or clearance.
