Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, microrobots have demonstrated their potential to revolutionize traditional medical procedures and medicines in many aspects. The development manipulation technologies and wireless control methodologies of these untethered microrobot/micro-devices will enable minimal invasion into current diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as the possibility of a new procedure that was never before possible. Studies conducted in laboratories on micromanipulation, diagnosis, and microsurgery need to be characterized and verified in clinical settings. On the other hand, robotics have become a part of human life and especially in medical treatment on a global scale, expanding from industrial services to society daily needs. The ultra-high position's accuracy, comparable cost, and scalable capability make robotics ideal for micromanipulation, micro-diagnosis, and microsurgery.
This Special Issue is dedicated to recent advances in research and development within the field of manipulation, diagnosis, and surgery using microrobots in the clinical aspect. We are seeking contributions describing recent advancements in the combination of robotic systems and microrobots that enhance the outcomes of micromanipulation, diagnosis, and microsurgery and enable new procedures.
