Micro/nanorobots with remote sensing capabilities for intelligent and miniaturized biomedical platforms
Micro/nanorobots equipped with remote biosensing capabilities represent a significant advancement in biomedical applications, offering innovative solutions for diagnostics and targeted therapies. These miniature devices leverage cutting-edge materials and innovative techniques to achieve high sensitivity and specificity in detecting biological substances. In this perspective, we examine the recent representative developments of micro/nanorobots in the detection of biological samples, highlighting their design, functionality, and the integration of advanced instruments for rapid sensing. We also discuss the challenges that need to be addressed for practical applications in technological translation, as well as the future outlook for these platforms. By leveraging the ongoing research and interdisciplinary collaboration, micro/nanorobotic technology and platforms are poised to significantly enhance healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes.
