- Additional information
- This high-cited paper (currently 6th most-highly cited) introduces the worlds' first soft continuum microrobot and was published in the leading journal in robotics; it also provided the front cover. Using soft continuum microrobots, it presents an integrated minimally invasive surgical platform for angioplasty application, an order of magnitude smaller than the current state-of-the-art. This work is so highly-cited because it triggered a wave of studies (Cited in Nature, Science Robotics) and helped the authors to win 2019 the best preclinical manuscript award from society for cardiac robotic navigation. The author continued the work towards even greater control of the microrobot.
