Abstract
This research introduces a quadrupole magnetic tweezers which can be used for precise cell transportation by actuating magnetic spherical microrobots. The focus of the system is on navigating and manipulating cells within environments characterized by high cellular density. Demonstrating efficacy in moving cells through densely packed cell samples, the system underscores its potential to overcome common obstacles such as inaccurate target delivery and inefficiency. The findings from this study highlight the significant promise that microrobotic technologies hold in advancing medical applications, particularly in precise cell delivery mechanisms, setting a foundation for the future exploration and utilization of medical microrobots.
