A slender robotic thread could snake its way through the brain’s blood vessels and tend to clots, guided by magnets the whole way.

Engineers have designed a hydrogel-coated magnetic steerable thread-like robot capable of gliding through narrow pathways such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain. The study combines work on ...

MIT has invented a new robotic thread that is small enough to travel through the blood vessels inside the human brain. The robotic thread is controlled using magnets to actively guide it through ...

The robotic thread can be steered remotely using magnetic fields, supported by a self-lubricating skin to help it smoothly manoeuvre with minimal friction through its delicate surroundings.

MIT engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain.

MIT researchers have created a super-thin robotic thread capable of carefully winding its way through a tangle of tubes. In the future, it could move through blood vessels in the brain to help ...

MIT engineers created a thread-like robot that can glide through the brain's blood vessels and could deliver clot-reducing drugs to treat strokes or aneurysms. The robotic thread could offer an ...

Newly developed magnetically controlled, thread-like robot to treat stroke patients can clear blood vessel blockages and deliver drugs directly to the brain, reveals a new study.

They describe this robot experiment in a paper in Science Robotics, showing how they manipulated a large magnet outside the model to steer the thread to its target. It also describes a further ...

NEW SCALE ROBOTICS ’ Q-Span ® automated gauging system – a do-it-yourself robotic automation system for high-mix, small-batch manufacturing – now includes thread verification functionality. The Q-Span ...

Engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain.
