Abstract: Treatment of intracranial gliomas has increasingly favored minimally invasive surgery, with a growing focus on leveraging
microrobots for efficient drug delivery while overcoming the impact of body fluids. Inspired by honeybee stingers, this study
proposed a novel microspike robot. This robot firmly adhered to the tissue surface, enabling direct drug delivery from a hy?
drogel on its back into the targeted tissue via microspikes. The drug delivery rate was influenced by temperature and could
be controlled by an alternating magnetic field. Microrobots could be delivered rapidly through a clinical Ommaya reservoir
into the postoperative cavity or ventricle of the skull. The microrobot could be actuated for adhesion and retrieval, with its
motion posture and trajectory highly precisely controlled by external magnetic fields. Biological experiments confirmed the
excellent biocompatibility and biosafety of the microspike robot and demonstrated its effectiveness in treating gliomas by
loading unconventional therapeutic drugs. The proposed microspike robot has significant potential for long-term drug deliv?
ery to target gliomas and other future clinical applications.
