磁控螺旋形微纳米机器人可在低强度旋转磁场（<10 mT）的驱动下，实现亚微米精度的三维（3D）游动。由于低强度磁场对细胞和组织无害，磁控螺旋形微纳米机器人在生物医学方面有很大的应用前景，如微创手术、细胞操作和分析以及靶向治疗。本文系统介绍了磁控螺旋形微纳米机器人的制造方法、运动控制和生物医学应用。

Magnetic helical micro- and nanorobots can perform 3D navigation in various liquids with a sub-micrometer precision under low-strength rotating magnetic fields (<10 mT). Since magnetic fields with low strengths are harmless to cells and tissues, magnetic helical micro/nanorobots are promising tools for biomedical applications, such as minimally invasive surgery, cell manipulation and analysis, and targeted therapy. This review provides general information on magnetic helical micro/nanorobots, including their fabrication, motion control, and further functionalization for biomedical applications.
