报告摘要：

Flexible microrobots, characterized by flexible structures or operational modes, are indispensable for achieving precision micromanipulation and effective force interaction tasks in complex biological environments. This presentation will report on our recent progress in the development of magnetically controlled flexible microrobotic systems tailored for precision biomedical applications. Our research covers magnetic soft catheter robots for vascular intervention, which address the limitations of traditional catheters by achieving active navigation in narrow and tortuous vascular networks with enhanced steerability and low invasiveness; and untethered magnetic microrobots for precision therapy, which realize targeted drug delivery and localized treatment while minimizing off-target effects and systemic toxicity. These flexible microrobotic systems hold great promise for advancing precision medical treatment, thereby enhancing human health by enabling more accurate, minimally invasive, and efficient biomedical interventions. Additionally, the key challenging problems encountered in the development and clinical translation of these systems will be addressed. Finally, future research directions aimed at overcoming these challenges and promoting the practical application of flexible microrobotic manipulation systems will be discussed.
