- The idea of magnetic-particle-imaging (MPI) which enables real-time monitoring of nanoparticles in-vivo has the potential to revolutionize the medical field, it could enable drugs to be delivered to exactly where they are needed in the body, thereby maximising effectiveness whilst minimising side-effects. This paper is the first attempt in robotics to utilise the idea of real-time MPI monitoring and actuation. The paper was published in the leading-journal in mechatronics and the authors were invited to give a Special Session presentation at Medical applications of microrobotics (MARSS'19), a flagship conference in manipulation and robotics at small scale.
