On the project

Biofilms pose a significant threat to industry and human health due to the challenges to treat and completeley remove them. In this project, swarm of antibacterial magnetic microrobots are proposed for biofilm eradication via the combination of mechanical and chemical removal methods. With this way, complete biofilm removal can be achieved in their hard-to-reach living environments without the use of antibotics.
