In this talk, I will present our recent advances in<br \/>\nmagnetically actuated robotic systems across multiple scales. I will begin with ferrofluid-based<br \/>\nmicrorobots that can be remotely guided, assembled, and dynamically reconfigured to interact with<br \/>\nsoft biological tissues. These systems demonstrate how programmable magnetic actuation allows<br \/>\nadaptive, shape-changing robotic behavior within complex and confined biological environments.<br \/>\nBuilding on these foundational principles, I will then introduce our semi-autonomous magnetic<br \/>\nrobotic platform developed to assist in Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD), a minimally<br \/>\ninvasive procedure used to remove large gastrointestinal tumors. In this system, an externally<br \/>\ncontrolled magnet interacts with a miniaturized internal magnetic anchor to provide dynamic tissue<br \/>\nretraction\u2014functioning as an intelligent second hand for the physician. Together, these efforts<br \/>\npresent a unified and scalable framework for magnetic control in medicine, bridging microscale<br \/>\nrobotic systems and clinically deployable surgical platforms. I will conclude by discussing the<br \/>\ntranslational pathway and the broader potential of magnetic robotics to transform minimally<br \/>\ninvasive care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5124,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"schedule":[5],"speaker-category":[6],"class_list":["post-5165","speaker","type-speaker","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","schedule-day-1","speaker-category-speakers"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hamid Marvi| Arizona State University| USA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hamid Marvi is an Associate Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Arizona StateUniversity, where he directs the Bio-Inspired Robotics, Technology, and Healthcare (BIRTH) Laband holds the Fulton Entrepreneurial Professorship.
