Review on Microrobot

Abstract

Recent progresses in Microrobots are moving us closer to future in which tiny intelligent machine will navigate through out our bodies. Microrobots, a type of drug delivering submarines have revolutionized many aspects. This review presents the recent progress in this field and discusses near-term applications in ophthalmic therapies. These are used for controlled drug delivery as well as for targeted delivery of drugs and various forms of energy (heat, radioactive energy) as in case of branchy therapy. A Microrobot is still in stages of development, these are largely based on micromachining, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and scanning probe microscopy. Microrobots are typically envisioned as miniature mechatronics systems that utilize MEMS technology to incorporate sensing and actuation onboard.
