Bacteria-based biohybrid microrobots on a mission to one day battle cancer
Scientists add artificial components to bacteria for better control and an extra therapeutic effect in seeking and destroying tumor cells
21-Jul-2022
A team of scientists in the Physical Intelligence Department at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems have combined robotics with biology by equipping E. coli bacteria with artificial components to construct biohybrid microrobots. Firstly, the team attached several nanoliposomes to ...
Microrobot collectives display versatile movement patterns
A model for future biomedical and environmental applications
28-Apr-2022
Collective behavior and swarm patterns are found everywhere in nature. Robots can also be programmed to act in swarms. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), Cornell University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University have developed collectives of microrobots which can ...
Machine learning deployed to fast-track industrial optimization process
Minimization of defects in ALD passivation films with only two steps through Bayesian optimization
16-Dec-2021
An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, the Technical University of Munich, and Robert Bosch GmbH deploy Bayesian Machine Learning methods to fast-track the optimization process of coating ...
Rolling into the deep
Microroller could to revolutionize the minimally invasive treatment of illnesses
25-May-2020
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart invented a tiny microrobot that resembles a white blood cell travelling through the circulatory system. It has the shape, the size and the moving capabilities of leukocytes and could perhaps be well ...
Three-dimensional structure of skyrmions becomes visible for the first time
05-Mar-2019
Skyrmions are three-dimensional structures that occur in magnetic materials. They are magnetic vortices a few nanometers in size in which atomic elementary magnets are arranged in closed vortex structures. Skyrmions are topologically protected, meaning that their shape cannot be changed. First ...
Novel 3D printed polymer lenses for X-ray microscopes: highly efficient and low cost
07-Sep-2018
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart invented a new and cost-effective method for making X-ray lenses with nanometer-sized features and excellent focusing capabilities. By using an advanced 3D printing technique, a single lens can be manufactured under a ...
A boost for biofuel cells
03-Sep-2018
In chemistry, a reaction is spontaneous when it does not need the addition of an external energy input. How much energy is released in a reaction is dictated by the laws of thermodynamics. In the case of the spontaneous reactions that occur in the human body this is often not enough to power ...
Soft millirobots for minimally invasive surgery and drug delivery?
26-Jan-2018
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems invented a magnetically controlled soft robot only four millimeters in size, that can walk, crawl or roll through uneven terrain, carry cargo, climb onto the water surface, and even swim in it. The inspiration comes from soft-bodied ...
Tiny microbots that can clean up water
Self-propelled tiny ‘microbots’ that can remove pollution from contaminated water developed.
03-May-2016
Working with colleagues in Barcelona and Singapore, Samuel Sánchez’s group used graphene oxide to make their microscale motors, which are able to adsorb lead from industrial wastewater from a level of 1000 parts-per-billion to down to below 50 parts-per-billion in just an hour. The lead can ...
Microrobots learn from ciliates
A swimming microrobot formed from liquid-crystal elastomers is driven by a light-induced peristaltic motion
24-Feb-2016
Ciliates can do amazing things: Being so tiny, the water in which they live is like thick honey to these microorganisms. In spite of this, however, they are able to self-propel through water by the synchronized movement of thousands of extremely thin filaments on their outer skin, called cilia. ...
