University of Pennsylvania researchers develop microrobots that can brush, floss your teeth iTech Post University of Pennsylvania researchers develop microrobots that can brush, floss your teeth Hun Michel Koo of the School of Dental Medicine, Edward Steager of the School of Engineering and Applied Science, and colleagues have created automated shapeshifting microrobots with the ability to brush, floss, and rinse teeth. The supply chain broke. Robots are supposed to help fix it The New York Times The supply chain broke. Robots are supposed to help fix it Steve Viscelli of the School of Arts & Sciences says that labor shortage claims are industry-lobbying rhetoric meant to reframe the issue as a scarcity of workers rather than a lack of decent jobs. A swarm of tiny robots could soon brush and floss your teeth for you Interesting Engineering A swarm of tiny robots could soon brush and floss your teeth for you A multidisciplinary Penn team including Michael Koo of the School of Dental Medicine and Edward Steager of the School of Engineering and Applied Science has created an automated way to brush and floss through robotics, a potentially useful development for those unable to clean their teeth themselves. Deploying microrobotics for dental treatments and diagnostics nocred Deploying microrobotics for dental treatments and diagnostics Penn Dental Medicine and its Center for Innovation & Precision Dentistry show that microrobots can access the difficult to reach surfaces of the root canal with controlled precision. Shapeshifting microrobots can brush and floss teeth Shapeshifting microrobots can brush and floss teeth In a proof-of-concept study, researchers from the School of Dental Medicine and School of Engineering and Applied Science shows that a hands-free system could effectively automate the treatment and removal of tooth-decay-causing bacteria and dental plaque.
