Exploring the Possibilities of Biohybrid Microrobots to Clean Up Micro- and Nano-Plastics in Aquatic Environments
Biohybrid microrobots are a new class of autonomous robots that are able to move in aquatic environments. These robots are composed of a combination of biological materials and micro- or nano-plastics, creating a hybrid system that is able to move in a fluid environment. These biohybrid microrobots have the potential to revolutionize the way we explore and interact with the aquatic environment. They have been designed to swim autonomously through water, allowing them to survey and monitor the ocean, rivers, and other aquatic environments. The robots can be used to detect and track pollutants, monitor water quality, and even map the ocean floor. In addition, the robots can be used to transport cargo or aid in search and rescue missions. The possibilities for these biohybrid microrobots are endless!
