Robotics has received increasing attention for biomedical applications, owing to its advantages in precision and stability. With the rapidly emerging nanotechnology, micro/nano robots have become a promising candidate for applications in various in-vivo/vitro biomedical settings and offer new opportunities for problems that cannot be treated by traditional surgical robots. Micro/nano robots have the capacity to non-invasively navigate the hard-to-reach and sophisticated environment of the inner human body and the enclosed organ-on-a-chip microfluidic devices. As a result, the new generation of biomedical micro/nano robots will focus on their potential advantages and applications for directed drug delivery, medical diagnosis, and targeted therapy.

The main challenges in micro/nano robots for biomedical applications are actuation, locomotion, and control mechanisms in harsh biomedical environments. This Special Issue intends to bring together advances in the fields of biomedical micro/nano robotics from actuation, locomotion, and control aspects.

The aim of this Special Issue is to discuss the innovative design of micro/nano robotics in locomotion and actuation mechanisms that cover an extremely wide range of emerging biomedical applications. We encourage researchers to submit works related to the design, fabrication, actuation, locomotion, and control of micro/nano robotics with biomedical applications. Original research and review articles are welcome.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• · Biomedical micro/nano robotic design and development
• · Actuation mechanisms for micro/nano robots in biomedical environments
