Mr. XIANG Yuxuan (PhD candidate in Prof. ZHANG Jiachen's group) has led a team to develop a wireless magnetic impact needle robot (MINRob) based on a triple-magnet system. Utilizing reversible and repeatable magnetic collisions, this small-scale robot accomplishes a ten-fold increase in force output compared with existing magnetic miniature robots. Moreover, MINRob is integrated with a teleoperation system, demonstrating its promising locomotion patterns and penetration capacity.

The research is currently published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics under the title “MINRob: A Large Force-Outputting Miniature Robot Based on a Triple-Magnet System” (https://doi.org/10.1109/TRO.2024.3410096).
