Microrobots

Leipzig University Creates Microrobot That Learns to Navigate Flowing Fluids

Scientists at Leipzig University have built microscopic synthetic swimmers that navigate through fluids by feeling their surroundings with their own bodies. Using machine learning, the tiny robots learned to reach targets even when water flows pushed against them four times harder than they could swim. This breakthrough in embodied intelligence could lead to medical microrobots that deliver medicine directly to precise locations inside the human bloodstream.
