Localized Thermal Management of Induction-Heated Microrobots for Hyperthermia Applications

arXiv:2610.09069v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Induction-heated microrobots face a fundamental thermal management challenge: the alternating magnetic fields required for localized hyperthermia simultaneously generate parasitic ohmic heating within the actuation coils. Conventional cooling approaches can fail because conductive cooling structures placed near the coil can couple to the time-varying field, generating additional electromagnetic losses. This paper addresses this architectural limitation by evaluating two liquid-cooling frameworks designed to isolate the electromagnetic workspace: an indirect configuration utilizing an external copper water block, and a direct architecture routing coolant internally through a hollow helical coil. Evaluated over a 100~s window with multi-point thermocouple telemetry, the indirect water-block configuration failed due to secondary inductive coupling with the block itself, acting as an unintended susceptor that drove the block temperature to an extreme peak of 805$^{\circ}$C. In contrast, the direct internal cooling architecture successfully extracted ohmic losses at the source, sustaining a localized ablation tip temperature of 63.4$^{\circ}$C while strictly restricting surrounding fluid and boundary surfaces below defined thresholds of 33.9$^{\circ}$C and 37.6$^{\circ}$C, respectively. These results establish coil-level fluidic integration as a key design principle for thermally isolated microrobot actuation and provide a hardware foundation for future spatially controlled hyperthermia.
