Hybrid electromagnetic device for remote control of micro-nanoscale robots, medical devices and implantable devices

摘要

Devices and systems for providing a magnetic field to control microdevices embedded in a patient's body, organs, or tissues. A novel coil configuration is disclosed that provides a magnetic field with sufficient strength and directional characteristics over a wide range of motion with minimal weight and power consumption, while providing easy access to the focal region. Microdevices of various sizes are also provided that can be controlled in both position and function (such as the release of therapeutic material) and allow the transfer of both energy and data by magnetic field control systems.
