This project develops a novel microrobot designed to penetrate brain tissue for treating hard-to-reach brain cancers, such as glioblastoma. Inspired by parasitic organisms, the microrobot features a stiff head and flexible body, enabling it to navigate complex tissue structures while minimizing invasiveness.
Biological soft tissues, such as brain tissues, present a major challenge for wireless biomedical microdevices to penetrate, due to the complex anatomy and viscoelastic mechanical properties.
Parasitic organisms can penetrate plant roots using a hardened stylet while navigating with the soft body undulation.
The combination of the rigid and soft biological morphology allows these parasites to fracture, anchor to, and extract nutrients from the plant cells.
Inspired by these parasites, I propose…
