"Scallop" micro-robot can provide visitors with micro-circulation

Remember Google’s previous research and development program for nano-sized magnetic cancer diagnostic particles? Although it was later questioned by scientists, it is at least a new direction for medicine. Recently, a team of intelligent system scientists from the Max Planck Institute in Germany has developed a miniature scallop robot that can swim in the human body. It is reported that this miniature robot is barely visible to the naked eye and can swim in blood, eyeballs, and other body fluids. The R&D team believes that imitating scallops is the best way to express them.

First of all, body fluid is not the same as water. It needs to maintain a certain degree of viscosity. In this case, moving forward and backward is the best way to swim. Second, the micro scallops do not need much power to move, and do not consider the battery and the motor in terms of power, but only need an external magnetic field to provide energy. In this way, the robot can be made as small as possible in appearance.

Scientists stated that there are no specific uses for this robot. They hope that they can provide certain design references for other teams and companies that develop advanced medical technology, such as repairing damaged cells and delivering drugs. At present, you can check their latest published paper information in Nature magazine.

As technology continues to improve, more and more micro-robots will be able to enter the human body. Do you dare to try?

Brushed Motor

Brushed DC Motor

Direct Current, or DC, electric motors power a wide range of applications. Biote Electric has helped clients source, design and develop small DC electric motors for a wide range of commercial applications. We have the knowledge and resources needed to help you find the best motor for your OEM application and budget.



Permanent-magnet DC motor can be directly connected to a DC power supply, or an AC power supply operated through a rectifier. You can control the speed of DC motor by adjusting voltage level.
Motor output is from 10W to 5000W and also can choose to equip with a Gear Box . DC motors have simple appearance and easy to install so that our DC motors provide a wide range of industrial applications.


Brushed Motors These are a more traditional type of motor and are typically used in cost-sensitive applications, where control systems are relatively simple, such as in consumer applications and more basic industrial equipment.
