    DescriptionFor the first time ever, wireless millirobots swam through a narrow blood vessel, both with and against the flow of blood. Using a robotically controlled rotating magnet, researchers from the University of Twente and Radboud University Medical Center guided helical robots through a detached aorta with kidneys. Using a robot-controlled, rotating magnet, they guided the robots through the arteries. The researchers recently received a grant from Health Holland to further develop the technology for removing blood clots.
