Blood clots can spell trouble wherever they occur, but those that form in the brain can be especially dangerous when they give rise to outcomes like aneurysms and strokes. Mechanical engineers at MIT ...

Engineers have designed a hydrogel-coated magnetic steerable thread-like robot capable of gliding through narrow pathways such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain. The study combines work on ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetically steerable, thread-like robot that can actively glide through narrow, winding pathways, such as the labrynthine vasculature of the brain. In the future, this ...

MIT has invented a new robotic thread that is small enough to travel through the blood vessels inside the human brain. The robotic thread is controlled using magnets to actively guide it through the ...

MIT engineers created a thread-like robot that can glide through the brain's blood vessels and could deliver clot-reducing drugs to treat strokes or aneurysms. The robotic thread could offer an ...

Neurosurgeon Dr. Vitor Mendes Pereira uses a computer at St. Joseph's Hospital in Toronto to remotely control a robot six ...

MIT has developed robotic thread that could make even the least invasive current brain surgery techniques even less so, and potentially make it easier and more accessible to treat brain blood vessel ...

It was a good week for technology research, as a team at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology demonstrated a biocompatible magnetic skin that could enable new wearable systems—the skin ...

The RTU Robotic Gaging Unit is an automated system which replaces the traditionally manual “GO” and “NO GO” thread gaging process. Mounted on a robot arm, the RTU will check a wide range of thread ...

NEW SCALE ROBOTICS’ Q-Span ® automated gauging system – a do-it-yourself robotic automation system for high-mix, small-batch manufacturing – now includes thread verification functionality. The Q-Span ...
