Microrobotics technology to help transform cancer treatments of the future

MedicalXpress | апр 28, 2026

Cancer treatment and other delicate medical procedures could one day be carried out using tiny microrobots guided precisely inside the body after scientists developed a new magnetic tool to control them. The new tool, called the Tuneable Magnetic End Effector (TME), was developed by the University of Essex's Robotics for Under Millimetre Innovation (RUMI) Lab to generate magnetic fields that can be switched, shaped and redirected with high precision.
