Effects of Surface Interface on Micro-Robots Functionality and Applications

In 1959, Richard Feynman delivered a lecture titled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” which had a significant impact on the future development of nanotechnology. Micro-robots are an important branch of nanotechnology. Although they differ from conventional robots in composition, structure, and application, they share certain commonalities in their definition as semi-autonomous or fully … Read more

Reconfigurable Microrobotic Collectives Illuminate Future Medicine and Environmental Remediation

Reconfigurable Microrobotic Collectives Illuminate Future Medicine and Environmental Remediation

Abstract Mobile microrobots can navigate, sense the environment, and interact with it, potentially revolutionizing biomedicine and environmental remediation. Many self-organizing microrobotic collectives have been developed to overcome the inherent limitations of actuation, sensing, and manipulation of individual microrobots; however, reconfigurable collectives with robust transitions between behaviors are rare. Such multifunctional systems are advantageous for operation … Read more
