UC San Diego nanoengineers developed 3D printed fish-shaped microrobots that are chemically powered by hydrogen peroxide and magnetically controlled. Researchers hope to create “smart” microrobots that have diverse capabilities such as detoxification, drug delivery and, eventually, develop surgical microrobots.
