Free manipulation system for nanorobot cluster based on complicated multi-coil electromagnetic actuator

Abstract Chemotherapy is an important method in the field of cancer treatment and often follows surgery and/or radiotherapy to remove as many tumor cells as possible. In particular, among the chemotherapy methods, treatment using electromagnetic-based actuation systems is considered an effective met...
