Autonomous Soft Robots with Liquid Metal Locomotion: Enabling Minimally Invasive Medical Procedures

Abstract In order to facilitate minimally invasive medical procedures, this study presents the development of autonomous soft robots with liquid metal locomotion. These soft robots can move precisely and flexibly by utilizing the special qualities of liquid metals, which makes it possible to navigate through intricate interior spaces. Because the autonomous systems are made to function without human assistance, they can be used in a variety of medical settings. The sophisticated sensors and control systems that the soft robots are outfitted with allow them to maneuver through intricate spaces and adjust to shifting conditions. The special blend of conductivity, stretchability, and flexibility offered by the liquid metal locomotion system enables precise and regulated movement. The potential applications of this technology are vast, including diagnostic tools, therapeutic delivery, and surgical interventions. The autonomous soft robots can be designed to operate in a variety of environments, including blood vessels, organs, and other confined spaces. This research demonstrates the feasibility and potential of autonomous soft robots with liquid metal locomotion for enabling minimally invasive medical procedures. The results show that the soft robots can navigate through complex environments and adapt to changing conditions, making them suitable for a range of medical applications.
