These tiny robots can navigate confined and fluid-filled environments, much like the human body, and deliver fragile cargo, such as cells or tissues, to precise locations. Moreover, these robots are biocompatible and non-toxic, making them ideal for medical applications.

Furthermore, these microrobots possess a unique self-healing quality, eliminating the need for traditional adhesives. Researchers can cut and paste the material together, creating various shapes for different procedures. "Chemical engineers play a critical role in pushing the frontiers of medical micro-robotics research," Shahsavan emphasized. "Tackling the many grand challenges in micro-robotics requires the skillset and knowledge chemical engineers possess, including heat and mass transfer, fluid mechanics, reaction engineering, polymers, soft matter science, and biochemical systems.”
