Design, Fabrication, and Characterization of a Helical Multi-Material MicroRobot with a Detachable Payload (HMMR-DP)

This paper employs a biodegradable hydrogel to create a Helical Multi-Material MicroRobot with a Detachable Payload (HMMR-DP) capable of achieving for drug delivery applications. The biodegradability of the microstructures is as-sessed through experimentation at different concentrations and temperatures. The swimming capabilities of the microrobots are examined by experimental analysis using a rotating magnetic field.
