Abstract

Recent advancements in robotics enable the rapid evolution of micro/nanorobotic technologies which accelerates developing precise, patient-tailored diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Untethered microrobots are making strides in the biomedical field due to their ability to access hard-to-reach locations in the organs, allow adjusting dosage time, and can be combined with different treatments. Potential impact is evident in women's health, where microrobotic systems may provide innovative solutions for gynecological cancers, fertility challenges, and bacterial infections within the female reproductive tract. In this perspective, we discuss the potential application of microrobots in the female reproductive system, actuation, fabrication methods, challenges, and future implications. Reproductive health is highly important for humanity's future; therefore, it is crucial to prioritize cutting-edge research in reproductive wellness.
