Robots! Yes, robotic thread. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Zhao, whose team created a robotic-like thread that can slip through the human brain’s vasculature. Dr. Xuanhe Zhao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT. His team bridges the interface between biology and machines by integrating unprecedented functions and capabilities in magnetic soft robots. In this episode, we discuss briefly about the magnetically actuated soft robotics used in healthcare, emergent need of improvement in this field, how his team’s exciting research on magnetic robots obviate these limitations and expands the field to new applications.
