Bioinspired microrobots

Nature Reviews Materials, 2018
Microorganisms can move in complex media, respond to the environment and self-organize. The field of microrobotics strives to achieve these functions in mobile robotic systems of sub-millimetre size. However, miniaturization of traditional robots and their control systems to the microscale is not a viable approach.

Structured light enables biomimetic swimming and versatile locomotion of photoresponsive soft microrobots [PDF]

open access: yesNature Materials, 2016
Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields.
