磁控柔性机器人可独立实现弯曲与扭转,精准释放药物。

Dual-Mode Magnetic Continuum Robot for Targeted Drug Delivery

  • radial magnets设计使单一磁源控制弯曲或扭转
  • 实验验证在实际磁场下可解耦操控,药盒通过扭转剪切释放
  • 无需电缆的紧凑平台适合精准靶向治疗

磁控连续体机器人(MCRs)可实现微创导航通过复杂解剖通道,但传统轴向磁化设计仅支持弯曲运动。本文提出一种简单结构,在导管壁内嵌径向永磁体,使单一外部磁源能独立驱动弯曲或扭转。基于物理建模与有限元分析建立驱动原理,实验验证了在实际磁场下的解耦模式控制。在此基础上,采用双层阻塞机制(外沟槽+内板),利用扭转剪切实现按需释药。最后,在仿体实验中演示了完整流程:先弯曲沿腔道追踪目标,再通过扭转触发释放。该紧凑、无缆平台结合多自由度变形与精准投送能力,展现出下一代精准靶向治疗的强大潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Magnetic continuum robots (MCRs) enable minimally invasive navigation through tortuous anatomical channels, yet axially magnetized designs have largely been limited to bending-only motion. To expand deformation capabilities, this paper presents a simple assembly that embeds permanent magnets radially within the catheter wall, allowing a single externally steered permanent magnet to independently induce either bending or torsion. A physics-based formulation together with finite-element analysis establishes the actuation principles, and benchtop experiments validate decoupled mode control under practical fields. Building on this, a dual-layer blockage mechanism consisting of outer grooves and inner plates leverages torsional shear to achieve on-demand drug release. Finally, an in-phantom intervention experiment demonstrates end-to-end operation: lumen following by bending for target approach, followed by twist-activated release at the site. The resulting compact, cable-free platform combines versatile deformation with precise payload delivery, indicating strong potential for next-generation, site-specific therapies.
