Robot works like sperm
Dutch and Egyptian engineers have created a sperm-like robot that can be manipulated by a magnet and is one day used to transfer medications.
Dutch and Egyptian engineers have developed a sperm-like robot that can be manipulated by a magnet and is one day used to transfer medications, artificial insemination, and clotting of clotted blood vessels. .
A team of researchers from the University of Twente (the Netherlands) and the German University in Cairo (Egypt) have successfully developed sperm-inspired mini robots and can be controlled by weak magnetic fields.
The robot, called MagnetoSperm long, 322 microns (micron = 0,001mm) has a structure very simple, with the first part of cobalt-nickel coating thickness and alloy tail section not covered.
When struck by a magnetic field that is less than 5 milliseconds, the equivalent of a decorative magnet on the fridge, the robot will 'trot' and move forward.
Experts can steer the robot by manipulating predecessors to a certain point, according to Wired.
In the future, they hope to reduce the size of MagnetoSperm and are currently working on ways to make magnetic nanotubes for use as robots.
