Description

Synthetic nano/microrobots have rapidly advanced, offering transformative capabilities in diverse fields through their autonomous movement, responsiveness to stimuli, and precise task execution at micro and nanoscale. This talk provides a brief introduction to the evolution of nano/microrobots, focusing on their breakthrough roles in environmental applications, such as pollutant detection, water purification, and energy harvesting, as well as their emerging potential in biomedical fields, including drug delivery and imaging. The presentation will then explore a series of works showcasing 2D-based robots, polymeric systems, and photocatalytic platforms, demonstrating their versatility across multiple domains. By leveraging innovative designs and materials, these nano/microrobots present a promising avenue for addressing critical global challenges in both environmental and medical landscapes.
