Drexel Algorithm Helps Bacteria-Powered Microrobots Navigate

Caption

Drexel University researchers have developed a way to use electric fields to control microrobots in a fluid and allow them to automatically sense obstacles and adjust their course en route to their destination. The technology could one day be used for drug delivery in the body or building microscopic technology.
