BioMicroRobotics. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 164
Robotic explorers allow investigating environments
that are difficult if not even impossible to reach
for humans. The usage of microrobotic systems
permits to obtain detailed knowledge of various
micro) environments that were not accessible with
former techniques. Furthermore, microrobots can be
used to specifically alter the explored milieus. A
potential application for microrobotic systems is
medicine. Propelling/steering microrobots through a
human body is a task that requires for fulfilment
the implementation of different fields of knowledge.
The author, Philipp Exner, outlines the basic
questions of how a computer controlled magnetic
steering system that is based on Helmholtz and
Maxwell coil configurations can be designed to
propel/steer a microrobot in a vitreous body
or within blood vessels. The presented book
describes the basic principles of popelling/steering
a microrobot with external
magnetic fields. Furthermore, different approaches
for the design of such a steering system are
evaluated and discussed. The essay provides an
interesting overview for everybody who starts to
work on microrobot propulsion systems using external
electromagnetic fields.
