Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) and the Biological Actuation, Sensing, and Transport Laboratory () at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ (ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Methodist University) announced a collaboration to further advance microrobotics technology for real world applications. This specific collaboration focuses on researching the propulsion characteristics of chemical-coated microrobots within realistic mucus fluid environments. Dr. Louis William Rogowski of ARA’s Integrated Products Division will be spearheading the research and conducting all major experiments. Dr. , the principal investigator of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ’s BAST Lab, along with members of his team will be contributing their expertise and providing access to their laboratory.
