They can crawl, walk and roll - tiny robots developed by a team of scientists at City University of Hong Kong make good candidates for biomedical applications. A group of researchers led by Shen Yajing have proposed to coat mili-robots with a composited agglutinate magnetic spray, in order to be able to control them and their movement in the human body using magnets. “Our spray can convert various tiny objects to mini robots directly,†said Yajing. Construction and development of millirobots requires simple and scalable fabrication techniques, explained the team, who proposed a “minimalist approach.†According to them, only a...
