3D-Printed Microrobots Adapt to Diverse Environments
Microrobots, small robotic systems less than 1 centimeter in size, can tackle real-world tasks that bigger robots cannot.
They can be used to monitor confined spaces, deliver drugs, or diagnose diseases. Researchers at Seoul National University introduced new modular and durable microrobots that adapt to their surroundings.
Microrobots, with their insect-like size, are expected to make contributions in fields where conventional robots have struggled to operate
These tiny robots can be fabricated using 3D printing technology, as introduced in a paper published in Advanced Materials. Author summary: Microrobots adapt to environments with modular design.
