Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201304098-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The presented microrobotic platform</bold> combines together the advantages of self‐folding NIR light sensitive polymer bilayers, magnetic alginate microbeads, and a 3D manipulation system, to propose a solution for targeted, on‐demand drug and cell delivery. First feasibility studies are presented together with the potential of the full design. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4sm1h3z7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
