Wireless Magnetic Robot for Precise Hierarchical Control of Next-Generation Mechanotherapy for Tissue Regeneration and Injury Repair

Abstract

The project aims to harness multiphysics topology optimization, stochastic learning algorithms, and hybrid manufacturing to design, fabricate, and validate next-generation wireless biomaterial implants with precisely-programmed reversible mechanical responses under remote magnetic actuation, capable of functioning as magnetic robots to accelerate injury repair. The production of these magnetic robots will be demonstrated at the macroscopic scale, and their magneto-responsive mechanical stimulation and tissue repair functions will be validated ex vivo and in vivo.
