Helical microrobots have the potential to be used in a variety of application areas, such as in medical procedures, cell biology, or lab-on-a-chip. They are powered and steered wirelessly using low-strength rotating magnetic fields. The helical shape of the device allows propulsion through numerous types of materials and fluids, from tissue to different types of bodily fluids. Helical propulsion is suitable for pipe flow conditions or for 3D swimming in open fluidic environments.
螺旋微型机器人具有在多种应用领域中使用的潜力，例如医疗程序、细胞生物学或芯片实验室。它们使用低强度旋转磁场进行无线供电和转向。该装置的螺旋形状允许在从组织到不同类型体液的多种类型的材料和流体中推进。螺旋推进适用于管道流条件或在开放流体环境中进行 3D 游泳。
