In this photomicrograph, points of patterned laser light (blue) are being projected on computationally selected positions to activate the muscles of a genetically modified, one-millimetre-long C. elegans worm. The technique could offer a new way of developing organism-based microrobots for a variety of different applications.
Professor Eric Diller (MIE) is collaborating with medical researchers to develop dexterous, magnetically controlled microrobots that could perform minimally invasive brain surgery.

Prof. Eric Diller has received the prestigious IEEE RAS Early Academic Career Award in Robotics and Automation for his contributions to magnetic wireless micro-scale robots.
Researchers in Prof. Eric Diller's lab create magnetized microrobots — the size of the head of a pin — that can travel through fluid-filled vessels and organs within the human body.
Researcher's in Prof. Yu Sun's lab have built a set of magnetic ‘tweezers’ that can position a nano-scale bead inside a human cell in three dimensions with unprecedented precision.
