Research Areas

DGIST-ETH Microrobotics Research Center and Biomicrorobotics Lab is aiming to Micro/nano-robots, magnetic control systems and Piezoelectric micro-electro-mechanical system for multidisciplinary research between biomedical and micro/nano technologies

DGIST-ETH

Microrobotics Research Center

Micro/nano-robots

• Micro/nano sized robots for targeted therapy and medical purposes

DGIST-ETH Microrobotics Research Center (DEMRC) was initially established for global collaboration on microrobot research between DGIST and ETH Zurich.
DEMRC plans to expand collaborations with other domestic and international institutes.

Magnetic control systems

• Magnetic actuation systems for manuipulation of Micro/Nanorobots

• Development of magnetic actuation systems for medical purposes

Piezoelectric micro-electro-
mechanical system (MEMS)

• Fabrication and development of piezoelectric MEMS devices for biomedical and imaging purposes

• Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers(pMUTs)/MEMS hydrophone sensors
