Background

In the realm of medical technology, micro- and nanorobots represent a groundbreaking shift, promising to transform many aspects of healthcare from diagnostics to treatment. These diminutive devices, equipped with capabilities for wireless manipulation and enhanced functionality, are set to revolutionize minimally invasive medical procedures. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) has notably augmented their capabilities, enabling these robots to excel in perception, prediction, and operational tasks, thereby supporting medical professionals under the constant strain of making critical decisions.

This Research Topic aims to explore the frontiers of micro- and nanorobotics enhanced by AI, focusing on their application in healthcare settings. It seeks to understand how these advanced technologies can improve patient outcomes and streamline the often onerous tasks faced by healthcare providers. The objective is to assess both the current advancements and future potential of these intelligent systems in performing complex medical procedures with increased precision and control.

To gather further insights into this promising field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

Design and fabrication techniques for micro-/nanorobots
Innovations in materials for micro-/nanorobot construction
Advanced methods in micro-/nanorobots manipulation and localization
Integration of AI to enhance system functionalities
Applications of deep learning in imaging systems for micro-/nanorobots
The role of deep learning in enhancing sensory perceptions of micro-/nanorobots
