Descripción

Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots: From Bench to Bedside serves as a
specialized and dedicated reference on miniature robots and their related biomedical
applications. This book presents the latest achievements in the research of miniature
robotics and introduces a variety of miniature robots on the milli-/micro-/nano-scale, with
tethered/untethered and individual/swarm designs, describing the various types and
analyzing the underlying principles per class. Recent Progress in Medical Miniature Robots:
From Bench to Bedside is suitable for clinicians, academicians, healthcare professionals,
researchers, students, engineers, and scientists working in the field of medical miniature
robots and related biomedical applications.
