Congratulations to Jiyuan and Felix for their successful talks at IEEE MARSS 2024, Delft, Netherlands.
Jiyuan presented "Yield stress fluid as ball joints for magnetic miniature robots".
Felix presented "Real-time tracking and control of mini-robots using magneto-oscillatory localization".
Tian and Prof. Hao Zeng, Tampere Univ, Finland co-organized a special session on "From soft materials to soft microrobots", a full-day workshop with 10 exciting talks.
Our paper published in ADVANCED ENGINEERING MATERIALS with our own designed cover

In the paper "A Miniaturized Device for Ultrafast On-Demand Drug Release Based on a Gigahertz Ultrasonic Resonator" we present a miniaturized device for wirelessly-controlled on-demand drug delivery. A solid-liquid interface oscillates at gigahertz frequency to generate acoustic streaming, which opens an elastic valve and emits the drug with an ultrafast response of 1 ms. The system shows great promise as a long-term controlled drug delivery implant for chronic diseases.
