Mechatronic Investigation of Wound Healing Process by Using Micro Robot
This work addresses wound healing for medical applications, but it appears incremental as it focuses on simulation-based force optimization without experimental validation.
This study tackled the problem of reducing cell stress in wound healing by using micro robots, and through simulations, it determined that the maximum force in the x-axis was 4.640 mN with a robot distance of 150 um.
The purpose of this study is to find ideal forces for reducing cell stress in wound healing process by micro robots. Because of this aim, we made two simulations on COMSOL Multiphysics with micro robot to find correct force. As a result of these simulation, we created force curves to obtain the minimum force and friction force that could lift the cells from the surface will be determined. As the potential of the system for two micro robots that have 2 mm x 0.25 mm x 0.4 mm dimension SU-8 body with 3 NdFeB that have 0.25 thickness and diameter, simulation results at maximum force in the x-axis calculated with 4.640 mN, the distance between the two robots is 150 um.
