Introducing the Hybrid Micro Robot: A Revolutionary Way to Capture Physiological Environments
We are now entering a new era of robotics, where micro robots are being developed to navigate and interact with their physiological environment. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego have recently developed a hybrid micro robot that is able to capture, analyze and manipulate the environment it inhabits. This robot, known as “The Hybrid Micro Robot”, combines a micro robot body with a single-cell microfluidic chip. This chip allows the robot to capture and analyze its surrounding environment, allowing it to take action. With this technology, the robot is able to maneuver through tight spaces and manipulate objects, such as cells and molecules, in order to perform various tasks. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way robots interact with their environment and could lead to a new generation of robots that are able to interact with their environment in ways that were previously impossible.
