主要内容

 People have envisioned tiny machines and robots that can explore a human body, find and treat diseases since Richard Feynman’s famous speech, “There's plenty of room at the bottom,” in which the idea of a “swallowable surgeon” was proposed in the 1950s. Even though we are at a state of infancy to achieve this vision, recent intense progress on nanotechnology, MEMS/NEMS technology and micro-/nanorobotics has accelerated the pace toward the goal. A number of research efforts have been recently published regarding the development of swimming micro-machines/robots from the basic principles and fabrication methods to practical applications.

This talk will cover both fundamentals and applications of this emerging research field, including the scaling law, design and manufacturing, and perspective of using these small agents for biomedical applications.
