Thermometric Based‐Microswimmers with Chemical and Optical Engines

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Temperature sensing at small scales is typically performed using passive luminescent particles. Here, an alternative approach is demonstrated by integrating upconversion thermometry into self‐propelled microswimmers powered by chemical fuels or light. This strategy offers a step toward dynamic thermal sensing at the microscale, relevant to both lab‐on ...

Adaptive Control of Run‐and‐Tumble Escape in Pursuit‐Evasion Dynamics of Intelligent Active Particles

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The pursuit‐evasion game is studied for two adversarial active agents, modeled as deterministic self‐steering pursuer and stochastic, cognitive evader. For a successful evasion strategy, the motile target has to exploit all available pursuer information, e.g., by tuning the tumbling frequency with the pursuer distance.

Surface-active microrobots can propel through blood faster than inert microrobots

PNAS Nexus
Abstract Microrobots that can move through a network of blood vessels have promising medical applications. Blood contains a high volume fraction of blood cells, so in order for a microrobot to move through the blood, it must propel itself by rearranging the surrounding blood cells. However, swimming form effective for propulsion in blood

Modular Electronic Microrobots With Onboard Sensor‐Program‐Steered Locomotion

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Modular electronic smartlet microrobots integrate ambient‐light energy harvesting, photodetection, programmable CMOS control, and bubble‐based actuation within a sub‐millimeter fold‐up architecture. A 58‐bit on‐board CMOS chiplet enables sensor–program steered switching between independently addressable actuators, achieving closed‐loop 2D navigation in
