0:00 / 17:21

Field notes

Discover how tiny, magnetically-guided robots are transforming vascular interventions, making procedures less invasive, safer, and proactive in preventing disease progression. Join us as Dr. Hakan Ceylan shares groundbreaking insights into the future of microrobotics in medicine.

Main Topics:

  • The scale and design of medical micro robots, often smaller than a few millimeters and even approaching micron size.

  • How microrobotics mimic microorganisms’ behavior and interact at the molecular level with human tissues.

  • Current applications including vascular interventions, dialysis access management, and brain aneurysm treatment.

  • The advantages of micro robots over traditional invasive procedures, such as reduced tissue damage, time efficiency, and proactive health management.

  • Future potential of micro robotics to deliver preventive therapies and maintain tissue health before damage occurs.

  • The role of AI and robotics as supportive tools for surgeons, enhancing decision-making without replacing human expertise.
